Weekend, it is time for rest, but I am still keep my two week campaign moving on.
Remove some old code from monthly archives. These code make the page shown very slow.
Follow twelve people on twitter each day.
Make a new kind archive template. It generate the last 10 post each category. Then I can pick one or two categories and shown them on home page. Right now I add Hardware, Software and Internet on home page. These three are most active categories.
During past few days, I did some modification on my blog here to accomodate the social media changes.
First, I removed Digg button code from templates. Not just because of the traffic from Digg is very limited, but the Digg API was not working any more. Digg has a big change on their own side. I will wait and see the future of it.
Second, I replace the Facebook like button code from the MovableType plugins code to Facebook native code.
I put it just under the post title, before the content of post. It looks good.
Third, add Twitter button, just add it in the place which Digg used before.
I use the code from Twitter Developer site.
Yesterday, I post it to show how to add a Google +1 button.
It is easy when you just want the button for the page or URL which contain this button.
<g:plusone></g:plusone>
There is still some case like this. I have a page with the list of Posts. I would like to add +1 button to every post link.
Google announce to release Google +1 Button to third party.
It is good tool for Blogger.
To add it on site, or blog like my MovableType blog, just two script need to be added.
1) Add following tag code to your head or just before your close body tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
2)Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render
<g:plusone></g:plusone>
I put the first script into MovableType templates, including index, entry, page.
Then put the second script into the main menu part.
It is not on the post body, but shown on navigating menu.
Lxadmin treat Awstats in different way.
The individual configuration file of particular domain or site is located
/etc/awstats/
These files are rebuild ever time the batch file update the Awstats report.
Lxadmin uses a template file here.
/usr/local/lxlabs/lxadmin/file/awstats.model.conf

tpl file are smarty template files.
Sometimes I need to add php script, or php code into tpl file. That means I have to add php code into the smarty templates.
If you add php code directly, there is error code.
The right way is to add script like following way.
your php code here
That’s all.
Just use following script as below
<meta name="keywords" content="<mt:EntryTags glue=", "><$mt:TagName$></mt:EntryTags>" /> <meta name="description" content="<$MTEntryBody words="30"$>" />
Please be carefully when you change your template file.

This blog has some error last week. Some pages were not build correctly.
I diagnosed it and found the template was broken. A bunch of codes were missing.
I want to find the backup of MySQL database.
Go to Dreamhost Web Panel > Goodies > Manage MySQL
Next to the database name, there are four links. One of them is Restore DB.
Click Restore DB, and go the following page.
When I move MT installation to Dreamhost, I tried to change template to meet the changes on server.
The 503 Error, Service Temporarily Unavailable comes every time I want to save MovableType Template.
I have to go to PhpMyAdmin to change the data from the database directly.
After doing a lot of Search, I found it is happen, because I use the extra-security. It is a default setting of DreamHost.
To solve this 503 error, just go to the domain and click edit, uncheck the extra-security, save it.
Then no 503 error any more when I change the MovableType template.
