More Movable Type configuration
I tweaked my installation in two ways early this morning. First, I enabled MT-Blacklist, an anti-spam plugin for Movable Type. This might allow me to allow anonymous comments (which would be ideal).
Second, I configured my site to use dynamic archive page generation. Actually, all pages should be dynamically generated. This works out better since tweaks to m y site won’t require the long rebuild times that I’ve traditionally seen. I’m curious as to the effect this will have on my old archive pages and how the new posts will look. This post is kind of a test and a notification rolled into one.
Third, I changed the format of the archive pages from the “old format” to the “new format”. Basically, this puts posts into directories per year and month rather than encoding the date in the html filename.
I should be all set up to allow more web authors to come on now. I have some colleagues who have been interested in starting a blog on my site so this could happen soon now.
