Del.icio.us Titles

August 16, 2005 2:51 PM

How can I edit out the title of the del.icio.us daily post without editing the title out for my regular posts on my movable type 3.14 blog.

The title "links for 2005-08-16", of each of the daily posts is an eye sore. Is there a way to eliminate it from each of the daily delicious posting, but not from my other posts in which I want the title to be there? Like Matt does in his site http://a.wholelottanothing.org/

It depends, can you successfully get delicious to post to your blog under a category in your blog? If so, simply hide the title from that category of posts on the front page.

I had trouble getting the categories to work, so I basically don't show the title or timestamp for posts without a category, requiring me to set a category for all my normal posts. I had to use a MT category or if/else plugin from brad choate to get it working (I forget what the plugin was exactly).

That Plugin is perfect. The only problem I'm having is, I don't know what to put in as a variable for an empty catagory. THis i what I have:


">< $mtentrytitle$>


but the name=" " doesn't seem to work with ""," ", or anything else I try.

Sorry if its a novice problem, but I'm a novice.

If I change it to another catagory, it works perfectly though. Perfectly for that catagory, not what I wanted though.

sorry...

MTIfNotCategory name=" "

is what I have... I just don't know what to write into the quotation marks to describe an empty catagory.
