- Installing DBI and DBD::mysql on Mac OS X Panther
A more technical entry than I'd usually post here, but this is for the benefit of anyone who is having problems installing DBI and DBD::mysql on Mac OS X. I needed it to get Movable Type using MySQL on my PowerBook and spent far too long trying to get this to work. I should, however, say that I really don't understand what any of this is or does, only that it makes Movable Type's mt-check.cgi script tell me DBD::mysql is installed. Whatever that is. Follow these instructions at your own risk!

- Upgrading to Movable Type 3 (or not)
I spent the afternoon upgrading my devlopment server to use Movable Type 3.1.0D, in preparation for using it on all my websites. The basic upgrade isn't too tricky if you're comfortable (and careful!) with FTPing and checking file permissions, etc. So it's possible to get your site using MT3, without any new features, without too much trouble. The MT screens do feel a lot more responsive and less clunky now.
