Using Blogrolling’s PHP option on your PHP enabled weblog. I’m converting to using PHP so that the blogrolling stuff can be read by google. This works on all the geekfishing.net related sites, but not for my current tongfamily.com since it doesn’t have PHP 🙁 If your blog supports PHP and allow_url_fopen you can call the…

More on getting photo gallery to work right: Gallery Right now I’ll stay focused on getting a decent photo gallery thing running. Went through the basic MovableType File Upload stuff. it is OK for a few photos, but it wouldn’t really scale to larger sets. I need something that will take my c:\pictures directory and…
