Choosing a Blogging Package for Students by Scot Hacker (Aug. 23, 2002). Unfortunately Antville is not mentioned although it is the best choice. (And I know what I'm talking about.)

PS: I did sent him a private mail pointing him towards Antville.

to support the stop spam-campaign of schockwellenreiter antville has got a new macro: <% fakemail %> generates a list of 20 (by default) faked email-addresses (you can vary the number by using the attribute number).

<% fakemail number="23" delimiter=" | " %> leqryl@inpqwhvyby.de | xcpgrdyj@dnkclehzhukrh.de | oxmqt@kqisjrxcgtt.br | ibecxum@ftkepmiflkzzkrqwhmlkhwd.com | yexp@dohvjnmqlqw.jp | vjji@qoffxfpjemgvyrkemcv.mil | lyarfv@zyzbekgtxnqyuuyzwdk.eu | fuhixfjrh@ldaqiquzms.org | xonfilgokb@aveknuenuymbespqspq.ca | khkeuh@rkduuydpdjg.de | lrvyg@vumjwvqypovbn.at | hjyy@srrnccuhykujmiyyocnihww.eu | qcbk@ohvshckd.net | hxvn@wvbrlhfffmjuf.us | fsluqvu@fvzdjexsgsxewslnvaizt.de | pqtlx@ivrqvmthmofkfx.tv | lihilrjmj@xprojcesoqogo.fr | rffeyav@gyeneeynmuudsoubn.st | mnhi@xrtyebivnbx.edu | ewjgiy@cmnvtemevqczhhn.mil | jojkwy@spmetcudprzdsvuzo.com | ggrgm@mshhsbywogbmxvdq.pl | dnqexbpeyu@dirtnqhekogwaidgyvylmwh.dk

thanks to hr for contributing!

Wouldn't it be nice, to have one linking scheme ? On www.weblogs.com antville.org and www.antville.org get around 35 hits each.

According to Nielsens usability guidelines www.useit.com you should also stick with one URL.

Tonight I installed a fresh copy of Antville from the CVS. I haven't run across any problems except for one. I cannot post via the Blogger API. The response I get from the server is:

Result: helma.scripting.ScriptingException: Runtime error Conversion to object unsupported by null detected at line 8 of function 'isUserBlocked' in file: '/usr/local/helma/apps/antville/global/securityFunctions.js' called at line 63 of function 'checkAccessPermission' in file: '/usr/local/helma/apps/antville/root/bloggerapi.js' called at line 9 of function 'newPost' in file: '/usr/local/helma/apps/antville/root/bloggerapi.js'

I am an antville newbie, so forgive me if this is due to a simple config problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

ders...

no update due to helma's current karma. see you next time!

if everything works out fine we will update antville.org to the most recent version in the mid of this week.

because we want to avoid any mess and make it as comfy as possible for you, the antville citizens, we would like to take enough time to test and verify everything before we throw the switch.

so expect the update to come, but please do not take our word for it.

also a good idea to spread the word in the other weblogs. that everybody knows what's going on.

thanks for listening.

I put out a first version of mobile channels for antville. Just download the mobilechannel.zip file and move it to your apps/antville folder. Like I mentioned on the mailing list it doesn't work yet to create a mobileChannel, because of the lack of file extensions in the URL. But you can access the mobilePages at helma/antville/yourweblog/cdf . You also could try to create a AvantGo channel from that start page. That should work already.
