Blog: August 2004 Archives

I have been cleaning up the link rot that has accumulated for some time. One reason I switched to MT was that I had grown tired of web page maintenance. Suprisingly, I found more instances of bad links in the MT pages than I would have guessed. Most bad links were the result of not having set the category properly, causing links to point to http://timbu.org/mtblog/cat_.html, which isn't generated. Once I fixed those and some plain old typos I got rid of most of the 404's that have been plauging the site. Now I really should attack the legacy site, but it mostly isn't very interesting to me. That will take much longer.

I have also been doing some style sheet experimentation. You can see for yourself at this navigation page some of the idea's I have been playing with. Hopefully, soon I'll give the whole blog a makeover.

I wish there was an easy way in MT to rename categories. I suppose I can do that in SQL, but that seems like a low level way to do a high level task.
