Dynamic Publishing

[marie b.]

I'm new to the world of dynamic publishing, and was wondering what strains - if any - it will put on my resources?

 

I've installed the MT Blogroll plugin and I'm not even sure that it works yet I haven't seen anyone update. I'd have no problem switching back to handcoded URLs if it causes issues, even though the script is a tiny file.

 

* Apparently it isn't working, anyway. I added my own link to test, and pinged Pingomatic. I'm appearing as updated on Blogrolling but not with MT Blogroll.

I don't use dynamic publishing (and have never used it), but from what I understand, the biggest advantages of dynamic publishing are reduced rebuild times and faster posting of comments and trackback pings (depending on which templates you enable dynamic publishing for).

 

If you haven't already, I believe you need to get an updated version of MT-Blogroll that works with MT 3.2.

I may give it a whirl whenever Arvind releases it, or I may stick with hardcoded links. Not sure yet.

 

The only template I was dynamically publishing was one that contained maybe three lines of code (since deleted, because it was an MT Blogroll template), but I'd heard somewhere that even a small template could cause issues.

MT Blogroll was updated a few days ago and its now using Technorati instead of Pingomatic to get those update times. In my testing almost all my blogs now have the correct update times unlike PingoMatic which often went down and then didn't report back correctly.
