I Am a Snowshoe!

I just think these are the most beautiful cats. Pretty accurate description of me as well.

The Snowshoe is gregarious and talkative. She is always ready for fun and will regularly try to instigate a game. While her strong intellect leads her to try new things, it also causes her to become easily bored when a task is mastered. Variety is truly the spice of life for this kitty! Affectionate with others, eager to interact, the Snowshoe is always the ‘belle of the ball.’

Take the What Type of Cat Are You? Quiz.

Automatically Export MT Entries

I learned yet another cool thing over at Scripty Goddess. If you use Movable Type, you can generate an export file that is created each time you post to your blog. What you need to do is create a mtimport.html file and put the following code in:

AUTHOR: <$MTEntryAuthor$>
TITLE: <$MTEntryTitle$>
STATUS: <$MTEntryStatus$>
ALLOW COMMENTS: <$MTEntryFlag flag="allow_comments"$>
CONVERT BREAKS: <$MTEntryFlag flag="convert_breaks"$>
PRIMARY CATEGORY: <$MTEntryCategory$>
<MTEntryCategories>
CATEGORY: <$MTCategoryLabel$>
</MTEntryCategories>
DATE: <$MTEntryDate format="%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p"$>
-----
BODY:
<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0"$>
-----
EXTENDED BODY:
<$MTEntryMore convert_breaks="0"$>
-----
EXCERPT:
<$MTEntryExcerpt no_generate="1" convert_breaks="0"$>
-----
<MTComments>
COMMENT:
AUTHOR: <$MTCommentAuthor$>
EMAIL: <$MTCommentEmail$>
IP: <$MTCommentIP$>
URL: <$MTCommentURL$>
DATE: <$MTCommentDate format="%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p"$>
<$MTCommentBody convert_breaks="0"$>
-----
</MTComments>
--------

Make sure to put it between ‹MTEntries lastn="1000"› and ‹/MTEntries›, using a larger number if you have more than a thousand posts. Since MT doesn't have auto exporting functionality yet, this is a handy way to get an export without having to remember to run on. Of course, don't forget to download the file every now and then.
