Is anyone here familiar with MovableType editing?

Check with Whir. He is pretty good at hacking up MT, atleast from what I have seen of his personal blog.

Okay thanks Rob, will let him know.

Dear Whir here is the problem. (i would like the space seen on the index page on all other pages) more info in image.

This is what you've got on the main page:

Code:

<body>

<br />

<div id="container">

<div id="banner">

This is what you've got on the archive page:

Code:

<body>

<div id="container">

<div id="banner">

See the difference?

The archives page is archives.html isn't it? In that case I added a < br /> to all the pages actually, but it's not showing up on the archives page for some reason?

I think it's working now, i guess if you make changes after archive pages have been genereated then these pages wont be affected. I just deleted all entries and made a new one (entry) and now the < br /> is taking effect on all other pages.

If you make a change after, you have to do a site rebuild. Then it rebuilds all the archive files from the ground up.

Thanks for the info, I just realised that

Okay Whir a new question

At the moment:

click on categories --> taken to very long list of full articles in that category.

Any easy way to do this?:

click on categories --> taken to a list of titles only, and perhaps contents of 'entry body' only?

SOLVED

A new question,

I am using the notification feature. It works fine. But when someone enters their email address and clicks 'add' they are taken to one ugly white page with a confirmation sentence that spans the width of the page - mega ugly.

Is there a way to edit this page? Which file?
