I’m currently trying to track these down and fix them - no luck so far
# The text formatting of the section headings on the right menu doesn’t work or show in Opera 7.11. Why this is the case I haven’t a clue, as Mozilla 1.4 shows it perfectly (albeit not using my first choice font, while IE 6 does use it…)
# The background colour of the post titles on the front page doesn’t show in IE6. Is this a limitation of the browser?
# Obviously the links on the top navigation bar should be centred vertically in the grey bar rather than in their current position. The post images (which don’t show in IE6 as they are generated content) should also be centred vertically. Do you know how to do this? I’ve run out of ideas and attempted everything I can think of, including the method I used for centring the text in the section headers on the right menu (see point 1)

Is “Perfectionism - the quest for the impossible” too long? Does it mess up your blogroll, or prevent you from seeing the number of new posts in your aggregator’s listing?

Tell me! If calling it “Perfectionism” alone would help, let me know and I’ll change it. Or if you want me to call it something totally different, now’s your chance to suggest it

Why do weblogs have a “Recent Entries” menu? Is this to make people who enter on a single entry page want to read some other post? I’m going through the menu trying to decide what to trim out of it - the calendar’s gone, now the rest is potentially under the axe. Again, *please* _say_ what you find useful when reading/navigating a weblog!

Having used it for over a week, I think the answer is unequivecally _No_. I wanted a tool that would let me publish articles as well as weblog entries, without having to create the HTML pages myself. Maybe movabletype can do this, but I haven’t worked out how to make it publish certain categories into different folders on for example.

The date-based model that MovableType and other blogging tools follow makes pointless to go back and update old entries when you have something new to say. Who’s going to find that you’ve added something or corrected some mistakes?

Making a new entry saying “I have updated a previous entry” would work, but increases the noise, without increasing the usefulness.

The solution? I don’t know yet; keep checking this post for updates
