Weekend Blog Operation Project

mfomblog.jpg This weekend's project was to convert the website I've been maintaining for my MUSIC FROM OTHER MINDS radio program from a static set of pages managed by Dreamweaver to a dynamic blog under Movable Type 3.2. After some deep thought about how to embed the existing static pages into the page, I was able to repurpose the style sheets and marginal content from the existing site into Movable Type templates. Eventually I'll move the past static entries for programs prior to April into its own archive. But for now they'll live along with the blog-like entries. Main reason why I've done this is because I could never get the RSS feed to come out right. I had to edit the xml file manually each time I updated the site, but no RSS reader would recognize it. Never could figure out what I was doing wrong. Now the site generates a new RSS feed item every time I add an entry. And, we now have moderated comments on all the new entries! Not sure that everything is working right, and the real test will be later in the week when I add an entry for next weekend's program. Also, now all three of my websites, this one, my photo blog All I've Seen, and Music From Other Minds, are all managed by one Movable Type engine. (I only wish MT had a better WYSIWYG HTML editor for creating entries). Take a look, leave a comment. MUSIC FROM OTHER MINDS
