secure and non-secure items

Every time I do anything in "Photo Albums" now, IE throws up a security message:

"This page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items?"

Every. Single. Time. The. Page. Refreshes.

It doesn't happen anywhere else but the Photo Albums section of my TypePad interface.

Somebody please tell me how to make it go away!!

TypePad Template Tags

Is there a list of these anywhere??

Everyone knows by now what a documentation freak I am. I need some. =)

watch the sites update!

Hey, TypePad testers, let's see how quickly we can all spread a bunch of links! Here's a list of updated public sites on TypePad right now. Everyone who reads this should link to the list and credit where you found the link. And then ask people who see your post to do the same.

I wonder how long it will take for every TypePad site to have the link?

a-whole

Matt's URL makes me laugh: awhole.typepad.com.

Ya gotta read it out loud. =)

memory lapses

Can someone please get me a new computer with better RAM or whatever the heck it is that makes me able to have multiple browser windows open without funky graphical issues?

Thank you.

(Because of this, my popup windows don't display properly. In order to republish my site, I have to keep saving this entry. Heh. I should do my alpha testing in the mornings when my computer is still "fresh".)

Sew Wrong

"Measure Twice. Cut Once. Sew Wrong."

How's that for a tagline? LOL!!

My goodness. Mena hasn't posted there since before MT added Trackback. Now I don't feel so bad about Virtual Venus. Heh. =)

venting ground

Okay, my TestPad is really my BitchPad. =)

I'm sick of spam comments on my Guestbook. The interesting thing is that I get far more spam comments there than on any of the other comment-available areas of my site. It's like my guestbook is listed in some spam troller's catalog of "Great places to plug your porn/advertising/promotional site".

I ask for only one thing from MT Pro (everything else I consider to be icing on a five-layer cake): registration for/moderation of comments.

Almujahabah (did I spell that right?) had an idea: offer registration for users who visit regularly and will want to comment often. For those who choose not to register, their comments will not appear until approved. So - basically, moderation of comments by unregistered visitors. Sweet!!

what I miss

I miss not being able to link my stylesheet to itself to eliminate rebuilding - or in this case, republishing.

I like "Republish" better than "Rebuild", by the way.

bad alpha tester

Believe it or not, it's easier to post replies on the support forum with a raging migraine than it is to play alpha tester.

Why? Because I can almost post on the forum without thinking. Trying to figure out - and break - a system that (while based on MT) is still new territory requires a level of thinking that this 4 day migraine just won't permit me.

Like Kristine mentioned, there's a lot going on for us. Forum, Alpha, Plugin Manager. Add to that the emails (some extremely nasty!) I'm getting from users, my own neglected site, and the also-neglected-by-me Virtual Venus, and it's probably easy to see why the only thing I've really managed to do over the past 4 days is forum support.

Scary when something like that becomes a no-brainer, isn't it??

The only thing I've managed to do to stem the tide is let my PM Inbox on the forum fill up, so I don't get it from that direction as well.

The downside is that, having missed the last three days of work, I will be in hell-mode trying to play catch-up next week. The stress of that only increases the chances of getting another migraine.

It's a vicious cycle. But it's my real job that's to blame, not these side projects. The side projects are challenging fun; my real job is what's wearing me down. =(

Edit: Oh my, I forgot about the MT Wiki - add that to our list of projects. No one could ever accuse us of taking on too little at once. Heh.
