Spent the greater part of the day trying in vain to install cgi comments to Todd’s weblog. And it still doesn’t work. “500 Error.” I know it has something to do with file permissions and I’ve changed the pertinent files to 755 privledges. Still doesn’t work. Oh well. Maybe there’s a work around.
Todd’s webpage is hosted on UTK’s Volspace. They’re using some type of CGIWrap software to allow users to use their own CGI scripts, yet still have security on them. I have a feeling this might have something to do with it, but I’ve checked all the paths and CGI calls and everything looks good.
I also told David Shannon about the wonders of Movable Type and how it would allow him to update the church webpage himself. Unfortunately he seemed unimpressed. More work for him to do. And he’s already overworked.
I’d like to be able to have a form on this webpage which would allow users to send me messages. However for obvious reasons I don’t want to reveal my email address either in the output of the form or in the actual code. If anyone can direct me to some piece of code which would allow me to do this easily, please let me know.
Somehow I get tired of local news stories from NYC making national news. Prime example. This pending NYC transit strike. It was the lead story on the Today Show. Like I care. I realize that New York City thinks its the hub of information for the rest of the country, but no one in the heartland really cares if the buses won’t run in Manhattan.
