Looking for MT Tips and Tricks? View this Archive listing.
I shuffled things around a bit here.
After realizing that the category "Movable Type" in this blog was just getting too darn crowded (resulting in a very lengthy category archive page), I started implementing some secondary MT categories. Now, the only entry left in the overly broad "Movable Type" category will be this one, as an introductory statement to all who find this page via external sources.
If you're curious about the code I used to list only the categories I wanted, here it is.
I created a new Index Template called "MT Master Archive Index" and set the output file to "archives/mtindex.php". Then, this is how I coded my listings:
<MTEntries category="mt FAQ"><MTEntryDate format="%m.%d.%y">:
<a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">"><MTEntryTitle lower_case=1"></a><br />
</MTEntries><br />
<a href="<MTBlogArchiveURL>mt_hacks.php">mt hacks</a><br />
<MTEntries category="mt hacks"><MTEntryDate format="%m.%d.%y">:
<a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">"><MTEntryTitle lower_case=1"></a><br />
</MTEntries><br />
and so on, repeating for each category I wanted to include in the list, and changing the category name references in each set of tags.
Before you redid your site earlier today, I had just downloaded a zip file - Releated Entries.zip, but I didn't get an opportunity to cut and paste the code you had on your site to place into my template (which templates?)
thanks

Well, I didn't "redo" my site today - it was down due to some problems with Earthlink - all domains on my server were down.
Are you not able to find the original post on my site now that it's back up? I thought everything was status quo - do you remember what specifically the entry was about?
Thank you so much for having this information available to us. I feel like a complete idiot right about now!
