Another test to get URL working.

This is a test comment to see if it makes it to my twitter feed.

Glad you found it helpful. I like that it’s actually incredibly simple, yet pretty powerful.

Using plain text and MMD for the main content frees me to only think about the extras I want to add to my site. I prefer it to having to hack on a bunch of plugins for another CMS…

THAT’s a great idea+implementation of a practical CMS… I use RapidWeaver for several sites that require loads of css-magic - but I’ve been looking for a simple content-management workflow for my more content-heavy sites. Thanx a lot!!

Before everyone asks — there’s not really any other software for you to download. I added my XSLT file to the MMD repo on github. But really, it’s up to you to design your website if you want to add headers, footers, etc.

I don’t want to turn this into me generating a lot of look-alike sites — I just wanted to open up the concept of a different way of managing web content that might appeal to the same sorts of users that like MMD.

But mostly it’s because I wanted it for myself! :)

That’s the thing — there’s nothing to download. Multimarkdown is the CMS. Your entries are stored in text files.

A more detailed description is here.

Sounds great! Will you be making the CMS avaiable for download?

Another side benefit. Because I upload the text files to my web server in addition to the html files, you can view the raw MMD source for any page.

Simply add a “.txt” extension to the URL. In the case of viewing a directory, you will need to add “index.txt” since the index.html is hidden from the URL.

e.g. to see the source for

go to

So, I appear to have comments working, as well as math:

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 1$

And I think I figured out why I was having trouble with special characters in IE….

Looks like the latest version of Parallels finally has support for Ubuntu 9.04 - installed for me without a hitch. Haven’t been able to test everything yet, but so far so good.

You have to enable your gmail account to handle other email addresses - gmail has help files for that.

Everything is working, except “replies will go to the address of your choosing” ! How can I do that? All the emails I relay has myname@gmail.com as originating address and replies go to my gmail address.. How can I prevent that?

I’m out of ideas…. Sorry….

Well, I tried what you did, and I got no error message, but I wasn’t able to see any files. After a reboot, I got the error message again. I tried what you did again but nothing changed; I got the permissions error message. I tried ls -l on the folder and it says drwxrwxrwx. Any suggestions? Thanks,

Hmmm… I haven’t had that problem before.

What has happened to me, however, is that sometimes the first time I try to access (usually to write, not read) the shared folder, it gives a permissions error. If I wait a few seconds and try again, it usually works. Also, if I cd into that directory and ls, that usually tickles it into working.

But I have never had to explicitly change any permissions.

I got the Parallels Shared folder on the Desktop, and I can see my Mac’s Home folder, however I do not have the permissions to view the contents of it. I realise that is on the Mac side of my computer, but how should I go about opening permissions for every file in my Home folder? Or is there a better way? Thank you for the clear tutorial.

With All Due Respect,

Perhaps try rebooting and trying the mount again? This error implies that the support for the Parallels “file system” isn’t loaded… I don’t know much beyond that. I’ve only seen this error before following the steps mentioned.

BTW - after upgrading my kernel, I had to follow the steps again. It worked for me following the directions listed, so I don’t think I left anything out….

Thanks for the tutorial. I seem to be running into a small error though after I try to mount /media/psf.

Terminal returns:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'prl_fs'

Any ideas? I’m almost positive I properly appended /etc/fstab.

I am deeply not only grateful but astonished and impressed by the quality of this tutorial.

It is exhaustive, clear, simple (I’m an absolute beginner, as Bowie sang someday), and efficient.

You just bring THE solution to a pain in the a… problem that bothers maybe thousands of people.

If I was in charge of recruiting at Parallels, I’d offer you a job at once.

Thanks a lot

I’m sure you can google sasl_passwd in order to learn more about the syntax. I am not an expert in this file, and simply learned enough to do what’s described above.
