Super quick search of support docs by Lyle B Hojbjerg Clarke on  11/11/2001 (Bookmark)
 Free-conversant's support site, including all the support documents and the entire support forum, are indexed in Google. Search for Conversant topics (include the '#' when referring to macro names) and you'll be able to zoom around Conversant's support site far quicker than the support site's own search engine can take you. If you get too many unrelated pages, include the word 'Macrobyte' in your search. 

Admin-only tags by Mark Morgan on  10/17/2001 (Bookmark)
 Want to have one set of HTML tags that users can use, but another (more complete) set of tags that the administrator can use? You already do. The HTML Enforcer (in the conversation preferences, in the admin system) lists all those tags that are available in posted messages. That way, you can keep users from ruining your work with java applets or bizarre flash experiments

As administrator, if you want use those tags, what do you do? Put the code you want to use in a template. Templates don't go through the HTML Enforcer and can use any HTML tag you want. 

Pinging Weblogs.Com by Bradley Peters on  10/16/2001 (Bookmark)
 Until a solution using one of the RPC ping methods becomes available, you can make it easier to work with the new notification system at Weblogs.com by adding a "Ping Weblogs.Com" button to your template. Put it near the top so that it's easily accessible after you've posted something to your weblog. Here's an example of the HTML you'll need (remember to personalize it):

<!--#if condition="username=='weblogowner@example.com'"-->
<form method="GET" action="http://newhome.weblogs.com/pingSiteForm">
  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="**Name of Weblog**" />
  <input type="hidden" name="url" value="**URL**" />
  <input type="submit" value="Ping Weblogs.Com"></form>
<!--#endIf-->

 

Pain-free redesign by Mark Morgan on  7/17/2001 (Bookmark)
 You want to try out a new design. You want people to have a look at it. You don't want to mess with the original design. It is simple: make a directory mirror page for all or part of your site. Alter the templates and other design elements on that. Voila! Pain-free redesign.
