The best blogs on the net use it. Your TMK vs. World looks the best in my opinion and it looks good in every browser I have tried. I hear MT has good posting options and an easy-to-use in-browser posting system. MT looks professional...
You might also try pMachine (www.pmachine.com). This also looks flexible and useful.

3. How have you helped someone this week?
How? Uh, being nice, I suppose.
4. What one thing do you need to get done by this tmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-915077362003-03-27T17:54:00.000-05:002003-03-27T20:11:35.000-05:00(If this doesn't sound conceited, then I don't know what does. Here's an unconventional recap.)
"Let's go down to our man Guy Leavell at the Lunatic Lounge, once again standing by with TMK," the studio anchor said.
"Hey, guys!" Guy shouted over the fans crowded at the entrance, waiting for the Lounge's owner to show.
"Guy, there's a rumor that something big is about to take place, just in time tmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-914754282003-03-27T07:28:00.000-05:002003-03-27T07:28:41.233-05:00And so The Mac Shac begins the tedious move to PostNuke.
Well, technically it hasn't begun, but I did upload the files and try to set it up. Turns out the IP of my server plus the port number won't cut it for the database host. Keeps timing out during installation...
Everything is down at the moment until I get the email from Doteasy hopefully giving me the right information in order to MrK540http://www.blogger.com/profile/16548909753300076030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-914421762003-03-26T18:32:00.000-05:002003-03-26T20:59:09.000-05:00Hmm...long day...not a long entry, and this is just part of it...new links at the bottom..
And right by the comments section, I've added room for a forum. Yes, I know more about forums than this, but this one is simple enough for a blog. Props to CNN's Kevin Sites for the idea.

Nice try, though.
Great, two chat box trolls. Most people would be lucky if they had any, and I get twice the irritation. Zonkboard wiped one of the posts, the other is what prompted the first line.
Another stab at shuttering this blog has been deflected.

I'll get to that later. There will be no "inevitable reprisals" this time. I'm actually too mellow for that now.
Sidenote: Saddam: despot or...sexpot? You decide.
Operation Splat2931 continues to move forward, one day after formally receiving a title. Something's bound to happen soon, but I'm not sure what.

Oh, and did I mention today's English Grad test? I think this is a common sentiment among us juniors, but it was an affront to our intelligence. Sample question:
Which of the following is an opinion?

Hey, everyone...It's a tie game, 2-2.
Oh, yeah, and Kalin, have you considered talking with the RateMyTeachers people (see CHS page) about putting a MS ad on the site?

There's a new guy in town!
Let's go down to Guy Leavell, standing by with the recently returned TMK.
"TMK, it's certainly nice to have you back at the lounge. Where have you been?" Leavell opened.
"Well, Guy, I've been on a depression-plagued stint away from the lounge. I moved, for all of nineteen hours, to another place," TMK responded, running his tmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-912144692003-03-23T01:33:00.000-05:002003-03-23T01:33:48.810-05:00Well, since it's just me I will go ahead and tell you the site updates I have made today.The Mac Shac front page got some things moved around to fit tighter and formatting issue were solved. I altered thw two images that link to the merch cafe shop and my personal page, and then I created two more for the "Editor's Weekly Mac Application Picks". I also added a self updating link to "Joy of Tech",MrK540http://www.blogger.com/profile/16548909753300076030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-912102422003-03-22T23:39:00.000-05:002003-03-23T09:58:32.000-05:00(Entry posted at TMK vs. the World.
This is my notification system for entries posted elsewhere. Get used to it.)
I had a lengthy chat with Kalin about it, where he asked me if I was closing this place. I paused, not really sure how to answer. I said, "No, I don't think so." And I still don't plan on closing the lounge. The third paragraph of the entry linked below covers a main reason for this.tmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-911853362003-03-22T12:21:00.000-05:002003-03-22T12:21:04.403-05:00Sad...I got a card yesterday from Elise, who happened to be on iMood. It stunned me, but at least someone took the time out to say something about it.
Now am I on vacation.
You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin
You leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within
Days go by and still I think of you
Days tmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726855.post-911824092003-03-22T11:03:00.000-05:002003-03-22T22:23:01.000-05:00I thought giving myself the night to sleep on whatever happened yesterday might have restored my confidence in blogging. Nope. If anything, I came up with more ideas to shutter this lounge in the short term.
I have new, final disclaimer, for all of you to have a look at. I concur completely with every point presented there, as it's right down the middle, on the money. The link is the image.

No longer.
As I'd said, I did go online to complete part one of my apology. Things went...I don't know. It seemed like there was a misunderstanding from the beginning which seemed resolved, but it (the apology) ended so poorly that I'm not sure what to think anymore. My ears are steaming, a telltale sign of humiliation in my book.

(I've never titled a Blogger entry before, so...)
I have not one, but two people to answer to concerning yesterday's entry, which turned out to be one of my recent best. If I told you they were both girls, would you be surprised?
You shouldn't be. Really.

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?
Robby Gordon. (maybe, but I'd have to venture down to Hampton in the fall race at AMS to do it)
2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
What kind of a Friday Five is this? I'd rather live in the 22nd tmknoreply@blogger.com
