In the last paragraph of the last post I originally wrote something different but Moveabletype would give me an blank error page anytime I tried to post it saying only:

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /cgi-bin/mt.cgi could not be found on this server.

It took me a full hour of removing and adding paragraphs one by one. Once I had a paragraph nailed down, And couldn’t figure out the problem, so I actually retyped, rephrased and even removed all punctuation to find the offender. No luck. Finally, still with no answer, I went with the sentences in the identified paragraph and at last discovered the very WORD causing the problem… C-h-a-r-d-o-n-n-a-y!!!

I had to put dashes in here to even make it take it now! It wouldn’t take it with a single dash after “char”, and “char” by itself works. “Donna” works, but put a Y on the end and it won’t. WTF?

And what happens if someone’s name is d-o-n-n-a-y?

    (Dunno what the diatribe above is all about… weird)

    I once belonged to a BBS (oldfashioned bulletin board system in the early dialup days) that had a swear filter that wouldn’t let you type that particular type of wine either… Turns out, it sees the word “hard on” in it and blocked it as innapropriate language!

    That weird diatribe was posted to both blogs on this system, and neither notice came to my inbox. Grrrr…

    Yeah, turns out it’s a common thing on most every CMS sytem now, Dunno, some kind of security doodad…

    Now on my mom’s site I set up , I have to remove some of the censored words from the config file since she’s in a band called Sweetwater and is will often be typing that in… when I first set it up it kept saying “wee*CENSORED*er. Hee!
