New The Film Critic Feature (and it's blog related)
If you're reading this via rss, go to my actual blog. Okay, now look to the left. See that new box? It shows the last 5 movies I've watched, pretty neat huh?
If you want to add this to your blog, you need to do 4 things. First you need to use The Film Critic to review movies, which you should be doing anyway if you read this blog :) Second, you need to use The Film Critic to track watched movies. This is easily done by adding Enter Watched Date and likewise via the website, email me for help. Third, you need to ask me what your UserId is. You probably can figure it out yourself if you know ASP (Rob, I'm looking at you) but just let me know and I'll figure it out for you if you want. Finally, add the following code to your blog's template:
<iframe src="http://www.misdb.com/movies/Last5.asp?UserId=XXX" style="width:200px;height:350px;"></iframe>
replacing the XXX in the above line with your UserID. For example, mine would be
<iframe src="http://www.misdb.com/movies/Last5.asp?UserId=1" style="width:200px;height:350px;"></iframe>
and look like this:
Lacey's would be
<iframe src="http://www.misdb.com/movies/Last5.asp?UserId=19" style="width:200px;height:350px;"></iframe>
and look like this:
Neat, huh?

put it in...very cool!
what's my ID?
Chris, you're 32.
Awesome feature. Now, if I only had a blog... (a heart, a home, the nerve...)
On a related note, how do I go about changing one of my ratings on Film Critic? I short-changed one of the best movies I've seen recently by a half a star several months ago and it's eating me alive!! -but not really- Still, I'd really like to fix it.
Thanks Chris!
Dottie,
This is actually confusing, but once you know how to do it it isn't a problem. Just go to the movie that you want to change your review of, and click Post a Review. If you already have a review it takes you to editing your review instead of posting a new one. I probably should change that link to read Edit Your Review if you've already reviewed a movie, but I haven't yet.
Success!!!
Thank you Chris!
In case you were wondering, the movie was Finding Neverland -absolutely a five-star film in my opinion, but I gave it 4.5 because I’m a jerk;-)
I suppose I was thinking that nothing could ever actually be as good as I think it is…but screw that. It is.
-yay!! you added me to your friends list ;-) now i'm going to try to figure out the movie thing!!
Sharon,
If you want to use the inline listing of movies you've seen, your ID is 50
Hi Chris, it’s me again. I’m afraid I’m commenting under false pretenses today. This is more of an announcement than a comment, as a result of my lack of contact info for all the Jersey folk.
As you know, we’re having the Halloween party here this year (YAY!!). I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be drinking at this party. I’m certainly not getting belligerent or anything, but I’m a social drinker who enjoys her alcoholic beverages when attending a party.
I am a poor college student for a couple of months longer, so I can’t afford to provide the minibar for this one, but I do invite anyone to BYOB if they so choose.
If there is a more effective way to let people know, be my guest. Also, please feel free to delete this comment once you’ve read it.
Thank you.
That is all.
Oh, and there will be beer pong in my room. I'll have some beer to get the games started, but prospective players should bring whatever they want to fill their cups with;-)
