The plugin for Joost Action Streams has been updated to include favourites. If you've previously installed this plugin I recommend deleting Joost from "Other Profiles" and all the Joost activity and re-adding it to your "Other Profiles".

Joost-just_watched.jpgIf you've turned in to a Joost junkie like I have, you may find this useful. I came across a handy script today on Libby's site for showing the latest watched videos on Joost and have included it in the sidebar on my Activity Stream. It didn't show the thumbnail for the video, however the possibility was included in the code, so after some editing, I was able to get it to show up.

There's a tutorial on Rob Kenny's The Composing Stick with instructions for adding AddThis or ShareThis buttons to your posts. After receiving a request today, I decided to show where the code goes if you're using the Mid-Century Template Set.

How do you add the ShareThis link on your post? I use the same theme, but I don't know how to do it. Can you please put that as a tutorial on your site?

You need to have Action Streams up and running on your site. I've tested using Movable Type 4.2 but it should work with 4.1.

I spent a few hours last night reading through my early blog entries on Toni's Corner of the World while I re-established comments on the old posts that I'd disabled after reading The Price of Closing Comments on Old Posts. Since upgrading to MT4.2 with TypePad Anti-Spam the need for comment moderation has practically ceased. This anti-spam program catches all the nasties and the reason for disabling older comments no longer exists.

Much has been written on the various techniques for using pagination in Movable Type. Jesse Gardner posted an entry on PlasticMind that gives a good explanation of some of the more popular approaches, their benefits and drawbacks.
