Still have not beaten MT 4.0 into submission: today noticed that the CAPTCHA plugin re-activated itself (via voodoo), so comments were stymied again.
The individual archive (so-called permalink) setting was flummoxed again, and instead of linking to an individual blog entry, erroneously led to a non-existent weekly archive, which if you click leads to an error message. How the fuck did that happen? Who knows. I'm not sure why this is even a setting, nor how to fix it. I made an attempt, but rebuilding the entire blog (over 4,000 entries, plus daily and weekly archives) takes about 5 hours from start to finish, an irritatingly long interval. Yesterday I finally noticed the individual archive mapping used dashes
(such as http://www.b12partners.net/mt/archives/2007/08/previous-fundraising-inquiry.html)
instead of underscore
(http://www.b12partners.net/mt/archives/2007/08/previous_fundraising_inquiry.html)
so all of my google/yahoo/icerocket linkage was broken (or actually, leading to pages that were using an old template and not being updated). Such a minor tweak, yet to fix took several hours of watching this window:
Bleh. Not to mention, a few times since last Friday, my web-host disabled my cgi-bin script because it 'used too many resources'. Yeah, no doubt. If SixApart had gotten their act together before releasing MT 4.0 out of beta, perhaps the cgi-script wouldn't be over-taxed!
Oh, since I'm kvetching, I also noticed a typo on the default “Main index” template, a “;” used instead of a “>”
Too bad, I'm getting all sorts of web traffic from Sphere (originating at the WSJ mostly, but also CNN, and elsewhere) about the Hsu matter (or really should be http://www.b12partners.net/mt/archives/2007/08/remember_the_90s.html). Damn underscores!

update still working on this. Utter crap.
(email me if you have a solution, I might just take a nap, have a beer, and start over tomorrow.)
