Myst Series Explained for iPhone Users

New Myst iPhone Web Site

Earlier I wrote “Myst-Uru-SL and the iPhone” and wondered whether the Myst-Uru fans and Cyan would make a place for iPhone users on the Myst Online forum. They did and with some fan effort to create a boat load of in-bound links iPhone users are finding the forum and joining up, more than tripling enrollments. Fans are answering questions and finding work-arounds to minor problems in the Myst iPhone app/game. In the process some interesting questions have come up that show the value of mixing the new and old fans.

Second Life fans are discovering the Myst-Uru community within the grid. When Myst Online: Uru Live, a GameTap revived version of the game Uru Live, closed about 500 fans made it to SL. The more well known SL group is the D’ni Refugees. The Refugees are working in smaller groups to learn building and build new Myst-Uru style builds with puzzles and storylines. These have resulted in the opening of new regions. Now there is another region opening made by members of one of the ‘guilds’ from Uru.

Second Life Myst Fans

Many in the Myst-Uru community are thrilled that Cyan Worlds, Inc. (original creators of the Myst series) has ported the original Myst to the iPhone (7 minute trailer there). The active fans are now supporters and buying the App for their iPod Touch or iPhone (As I write this Myst iPhone App is forth in the Apps Store Games Section). They are also supporters of the open source development of Myst Online or Uru. But will fans take advantage of the opportunity the iPhone is giving them?

WordPress & Flickr Tip

by

Flickr requires one to link to the Flickr site if images are used in any site other than Flickr. Our free accounts are paid for by traffic to the flicker site. So, this is understandable if annoying. This is a way to make placing these images in WordPress pages easier.

From Flickr they have an option to let one blog about a photo. They do up the page code needed to make it work and push the entry to your WordPress blog. My problem is I need an image to support my post, not be about the image. It just does not work for me.

WP-Flicker Tip1
Visual Edit Mode

What I do is write my post in Word and upload it as a DRAFT using the lower half of the Publish button. On the blog I move to the dashboard and select the post to edit. Most of us start out in ‘VISUAL’ edit mode. I flip the editing to HTML mode. The modes are two tabs at the top of the edit window. See the upper right of the first image. I read down edit window to find the place where I want to insert the image. I click and place the cursor there.
