Moveable Type Frustration

Moveable Type FrustrationLiteracy Weblog)

I’ve been using MT since the middle of September and haven’t had a single problem with it — until now. Since some time over the weekend, none of the 40 or so authors on blogs.setonhill.edu have been able to post comments. They can still post blog entries, but we can’t comment anymore, which really disrupts the culture that had developed online.

I’ve sent technical requests to the MT forums and to my ISP, but am at the moment completely in the dark, and won’t be able to get back online until later tonight (though I doubt it would do much good even if I could). Since the students are due to submit their weblog portfolios soon, this is extremely frustrating — for my students and for me. (My own weblog runs Will Gayther’s JWeblog, so comments still work here.)

  • This really does blow. Karissa can't even get comments from her family that can't go to the pageant. She really has an excellent idea: keeping us up-to-date, and now she can't receive feedback.
    Not that I don't miss it too, but she was really looking forward to this. Dang.

Yesterday my stack of unmarked assignments was about 120, so this is not bad.

Nothing in this stack is pressing, but they do include rough drafts of final papers,…
