Mainpage cached

The mainpage (which was getting really slow due to the high memory usage of the site) is now being handled by a cache. The cache is updated every two minutes, so your "new" posts won't update instantaneously, but will update every two minutes.

The speed on the frontpage should now be blazing fast!

one question,.

if i post an entry on my site, would it be automatically posted too on my shared journals?...

or if so, is it possible to not post my entry to my shared journals?

No, posting an entry does not automatically post it to your shared journals. You have to set that yourself manually.

To post to a shared journal, go to the advanced entry addition screen and then check the shared journals you want to also post to.

I am creating a BookBlog page on one of the Content pages. Is there a way that I can upload pictures of student work on that page? I don't want to include it in the Galllery--I want the pics to be part of the student's entry.

Create a private album, upload the pictures there, then grab the URL of the images (right click on the image and go to Properties). Use that URL for the image.

I tried it. I can see the picture in the gallery but the link to the pic on the Content page is not active. What step did I miss?
Thanks

To add an image into the content page, copy this into the content HTML:

<img src="http://www.tabulas.com/gallery/thumbs/tn_4784_TZx21.jpg" />

I was planning to use tabulas but my parents told me that they will have to take internet from my house, I was wondering if I can delete my account and how to do it so as not to take space that I´m not going to use =(

are there only 2 choices for commenting--login and anonymous? don't want anonymous but I don't want other educators to have to login if they don't want to register.

Reply to this comment

Comment posted on October 18th, 2003 at 02:29 PM

Not quite sure I follow your question- what other option would there be besides the two? Anonymous just means you don't have to have an account, but identification isn't 100% secure... logging in is the other half...

I post comments on other blogs all the time without signing in and it is not anonymous, there are boxes for name, email and URL. Why do people have to loggin to tabulas to post a comment?

Reply to this comment

Comment posted on October 18th, 2003 at 11:00 PM

Right. What you described is what we call "anonymous."

It's not really anonymous; they leave their e-mail/name/website with their comments ... and they don't need to sign up for Tabulas to do this.

On my Hit Logging - the time setting is off. The calendar is marking hits from today on tomorrows date. I checked Preferences but the time setting is okay. How do I fix it ?

Reply to this comment

Comment posted on October 18th, 2003 at 01:40 AM

Because of the manner in which those hits are generated (they are generated once), the times are normalized to GMT time, not to the timezone you set. This is to prevent "problems" when you go around changing your time zone...

There is a problem with my login! I re-sent my password, though I was pretty sure I knew it. I re typed it in and it won't let me log in. I am absolutely sure that I don't have any typos or spelling mistakes, capslock is not on, but it still won't let me login. Why is this?
