Sorry about the (more or less) duplicate entries below. The url for the mp3 had a space in the wrong place, and editing it somehow created another post. I've tried to delete that, but:
I can't delete posts because most of the buttons in my MT pages (the ones at the bottom that say things like "delete," "check all," etc.) don't work for me for some reason. (That has been the case all along with this version of Movable Type, by the way.) The only one that works, I believe, is "save." I also can't use the preview function without all hell breaking loose, which is why I ended up with a misplaced space in the first place.
Basically, the cgi over here at Dr. Frank's What's-It is totally FUBAR, and this seems like as good a time as any to ask if anyone has any idea if it can be fixed. Anyone?

Posted by: JB at June 6, 2005 07:46 PMI'd offer to take a look but I'm afraid of breaking it more than it already is ;-) I bet Dean could fix it though.
Posted by: Lynn at June 6, 2005 08:07 PMYou can always try switching over to b2evolution ( http://b2evolution.net/ )
It seems to work alot better, be alot more stable. I switched over, and would never think of switching back.
b2e also allows you to import your posts from movable type, so you wouldnt lose all your old stuff.
Although switching would probably be more work than it would be worth
Posted by: jody at June 6, 2005 08:16 PMWell, this isn't really help, but maybe you can check it out later. I use a program called Ecto to write my MT blog. It's got all sorts of nice things, such as rich text editor, html tag shortcuts, and it will use your style sheet for previews. You can save as you work, so you won't lose things, and edits to posts are very easy. I don't spend a great deal of time in the MT interface anymore.

Oh, it's really pretty, if you are using a mac. I don't know what the windows version looks like.
Posted by: jodi at June 7, 2005 02:35 AMYou might want to look at a switch to Powerblogs. Better tech support, free upgrades, pricing's the same as what you're paying now.
Posted by: Dean Esmay at June 7, 2005 03:53 AMYou seem to have a lot of problems with this...No offense, but are you sure it's not just user error?
Posted by: Amy 80 at June 7, 2005 06:33 PMI've got the same problem with the delete button not working. You wouldn't happen to be using Safari?
