Blog repair

It seems that if I leave my blog without new posts for a while, MovableType gradually shifts things off the front page as they age. When this happens, things start to look pretty funky.

I'm pretty busy at work trying to put Breakthrough to bed, so I can't think of anything other than dedicated servers, World War 2 and lots of screen dumps of Shark. Seriously, I'm wiped.

But anyway, here's a blog entry to help realign the cosmos, or at least fill up space.

Comments

Yeah I hate that MT does this by default. I've changed mine to show the last 15 entries regardless of date posted. It's a pretty easy fix. In your Index template, just change to be or whatever number of entries you want to be shown on the index page. Then it's all good!

I had the same problem. I just tweaked my front page template to:

<MTEntries lastn="10">

to always have the last ten entries up front even if I'm lazy^h^h^h^h negligent in writing.

Hmmm...seems MT parsed out my greater/less than symbols in my post. Just do what Avi said, that's what I meant!

Heh, I had no idea a throwaway entry would generate so many useful responses! Thanks guys. When I unlazy myself, I'll fix that right up.
