MT Installation

MovableType 3.11 was installed last week, and we are now in the process of familiarizing ourselves with the way it works.

The basics are here ... now

  1. Is syntax important?
    Yes, indeed. If you mistype html syntax in a blog, the whole thing breaks. One example is when I omitted a close-quote in a url. Omitting this close-quote broke the ability to add comments to the blog! Yes, MT allows you to do powerful things and make big mistakes.

    HINT: Each blog entry page has a preview button. Use it wisely!

  2. How do I create categories?
    Initially, MT was set up so that I could not create new categories. I found out, however, that I could go to the permissions area and give myself those permissions ... and maybe even give them (or take them away) from other people.

  3. How do I import a blog from another blog?

  4. How do I manage my style sheet? What do I do if I create a real mess ?

  5. What is a template and how can it affect my site ?
