Rodent Regatta

Even the title of Jonathon Delacour’s latest entry intrigues me. From disconnected sources, I’ve been sensing I should learn MySQL, PHP and Movable Type. I still don’t fully understand the syllabus by which I’m to do that.

However, I do know that when you click on any of the links on the Radio Archives page in my sidebar, you get this. Jonathon may have a way out of this dilemma with scripts, tools and techniques he’s developed.

The migration from Radio to Movable Type wasn’t difficult, but certain features are forfeited. You can’t post to a category without posting that same entry to your home page in Movable Type. If I want to post something about ballet to a category that one of my daughters reads without boring all the PHP scripters with it, I can’t do that in MT. I could in Radio.

You don’t have the rich WYSIWYG text entry box in Movable Type. No more shortcuts. No more one-click posting from a news aggregator. But, there’s a pony in here somewhere!
