a client asks asked
1) Is it possible to link Adobe GoLive directly into the moveable type blogging system? There evidently is an API in golive, but I haven’t been able to find the correct URL to link to the pages within the blog. It would make sense, for a security standpoint, to require people to [...]
It goes something like this:
Before you get started, we highly recommend using the free FireFox browser for PC or Macintosh. Many "Write a Post" and "Upload a File" features do not work with other brands.
First, If this is your first time, scroll down the Let’s Debate home page (http://www.uvm.edu/~debate/letsdebate/ ) and look for "Register" under [...]

Answered some questions about RSS feeds for justing and Steve.:

I’ve dealt with this kind of thing with MRG: somebody cut and pasted curly quotes from Word. Some readers deal with this, others (like iTunes) don’t, which can screw stuff up (podcasting).
Anyway, given [...]
Spent a bunch of time touring Mambo and figuring out what it does and what it doesn’t.
Installed Wordpress 2 in debate web space. Fixed a bit of "broken" code that affects file uploads in PHP "Safe" mode (added a touch command in admin-functions.php line 752. Waiting for feedback from Tuna..
It works. tricky part is making it work with our blogging tools.
Try this: go to iTunes, Advanced, subscribe to podcast. Give this URL
http://www.uvm.edu/~waw/index.xml
That is a static XML file, created with a text editor. It contains an enclosure:
<enclosure url="https://www.uvm.edu/~waw/uvm_only/reslife.mov" length="68313540" type="video/quicktime" />
iTunes recognizes the URL, and presents a username/password box. Pretty slick.
Trouble is, the [...]
Today’s Colleage tea is podcasting. Reviewed and updated my Ski Blog RSS feed template, put it on the web for easy access by others, checked my iTunes Podcasts to see if they were active and discoverable, saw how they looked using iTunes for Windows. Then went to tea tal
Investigated issue where new post to waw.blog.uvm.edu would not appear, an rebuillding indices failed with perl error. Justin traced it down to enclosure URLs that were missing opr forbidden. Whoops.
Answered numerous questions about his podcast, Movable Type templates, iTunes.
Met with Timothy Fox to discuss his Movable Type blog, an enhanced Podcast file, and publixhing podcats to iTunes.
I thought it might be cute to repurpose a PowerPoint slide show as a Podcast with Pictures. This example is a bit of a counterfeit: it began life as a MS-Word document. I read the text (recorded my voice using QuickTime Player Pro), extracted the pictures (saved Word Document as HTML and pulled JPEGs from [...]
Some of you have figured this out already. I just did today. There were a few gotchas, so I thought I’d pass them along.
Podcasting is nothing more than
putting an audio file on a web server
announcing the URL of that file in a blog post
providing an RSS2 feed that [...]
