movable type

Links to monthly archives allow you to page chronologically through entries of a blog. The links are usually presented as a list that grows ever longer: April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, etc.. I found this a bit boring, and made a graph to present this information as a visual indicator for my posting activity. See the graph in action on the home page of alexome.com.

regex_replace is one of Movable Type's tag modifiers. The new layout of alexome.com, completed in January 2008, is based largely on the power of this tag. I am quiet happy about it. It gives this blog something that is quiet unlike the usual blog experience.

When working with TypePad advanced templates i often have to ask myself which MTEntries attributes work together and which don´t. Since i don´t want to be asking myself each time anew, the little study that follows should serve as a reference when questions arise such as: What attributes should you use to limit the number of posts to display but ensure these posts will display forever?
