Stupid template problem
Yes, my comments aren't remembering anyone's info. No, I can't figure out why. The "var HOST" line says "www.spleenville.com" like it should. This isn't a problem on Tim Blair's site. I am exhausted, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I will look into it further sometime over the weekend.
Ran into a similar thing a few weeks ago...guys MT install was in doc root, blog was in subdomain. But you're just using subfolders, not subdomain...shouldn't be an issue.
Posted by: Sekimori at June 21, 2003 at 08:56 AMActually my MT install is in a folder on my main domain -- www.spleenville.com/blog has the MT install files. The old blog (the one I shut down last year) was in that folder too. I just made this one in a new folder. I never had trouble before. Maybe I have to put the folder name in var HOST? Eh.

Man, I'm just not going to comment anymore. That's it. Done. Over.

I am afraid Perl is quite beyond me, so I am dependent upon the fine folks at Movable Type to figure out what they did wrong with this latest upgrade. (I now think that's the problem -- no one complained about lost info before I ran the upgrade. Grr.)
