since i upgraded bilge – sook my stupid brain to movable type version 3,1,1 i’ve noticed that i’m getting loads of error messages when doing my ‘admin behind-the-scenes stuff’. the funny thing is that although these errors get thrown up at regular intervals, all the blog functions seem to work perfectly. maybe i should be thankful for small mercies, ignore them and just file it under ‘annoying but not life-threatening’ but i’d like to get to the bottom of it. here is a typical example; an error which i got after doing a rebuild following the addition of a new category. very doom-laden sounding, but the category was created OK, so what’s going on?

…and the following pops up every time i try to post an article – even tho’, again, the article does actually publish without a hitch…
