Someone to watch over you...

Whoops. Well, that was fun, wasn't it. I don't know why the front page went blank there (or how long it was in that ugly state for) but there will probably be other little hitches like it that we come across while I get my head around Movable Type. Leave it alone and I thought it would remain unchanged. Anyone?

We limped into our apartment an hour ago after 8 days on the road. Rest assured that there are plenty of photos and a few stories too, and Kinki will share all of them with you tomorrow, no doubt...

it was for about 2 days and it's probably because you set the amount of days to display as 7 days - you were away for 9.

looking forward to hearing all about the trip!

Hmm, that's interesting that MT behaves like that. I thought that setting was "7 days from the most recent post" and didn't realize it would leave the front page blank.

I'm sure there is some plug-in that lets you tinker more with that stuff so that it doesn't happen next time we take another big trip.

Or I could just read the Movable Type manual where I just discovered that it very clearly tells you how the MTEntries tag can be modified to override the "last days" setting. Hmm!
