magic

One of the most amazing and annoying things in Drupal 6 is the menu system. Thanks to a bunch of JavaScript magick, you can drag menu items around to reorder them, create submenus, and so forth. Unfortunately, once you've moved a menu item it no longer alphabetizes itself. If you want things to alphabetize themselves again, you are left with two options:

You can manually alphabetize the menu or submenu every time you change things or add a new menu item, forever and ever and ever. If you're not too keen on that idea, you can edit each of the menu items and reset their weight to 0, which makes them alphabetize again.

Neither option is ideal, so I created a third: this bookmarklet will set the weight of all menu items to 0 in one fell swoop. It also works for resetting block sort order, if you wanted to do that for some reason.

grab the bookmarklet after the jump.

i've been sending Provo, Utah swing dance updates with Textmarks for quite a while, but i recently started using another service they offer which deserves mention.

Textmarks can be used in a couple of ways. i have been using the BYU Swing Kids Club Textmark to push out alerts to subscribers. this way they can get updated information about changes in venues or locations and impromptu dance opportunities much quicker than through the official club email list.

justin hileman dot info has been updated. please allow me to draw your attention to the links at the bottom of the main page. i'm pretty excited about a couple. specifically the two with little arrows next to them.

you should click on them.

if you've visited my myspace profile recently, you've noticed that it doesn't look much like a standard myspace profile. which i'm pretty stoked about, since the hideousness of most myspace profiles approaches obscenity.

one key element in the makeover of my space is the blog. you see, i have way too many blogs already, so i really don't want to post to all of them. and i usually just end up crossposting everything from my regular blog to the myspace blog.

so i replaced it.
