Inspired by patchwork progression, I’ve decided to maintian this entry in which I list all my MT tweaks. I’ll probably add a new entry if I make a more complex change, but will try to list all the stuff I do with the blog here.

Some really good MT resources are: scriptygoddess, thegirliematters, and virtualvenus.

Okay, here is a list of various things that I’ve done with MT and the blog:

• 02/29/04: Edited stylesheet to get rid of horizontal scroll in stupid IE.
• 02/28/04: Installed the MT-blacklist plugin to take care of growing comment spam.
• 02/25/04: Changed the style sheet. Got rid of the stupid calendar. Rearranged the sidebar. I think the site looks better now.
• 01/05/04: Added a metatag to prevent refer/index.php from being indexed in search engines.
• 01/04/04: Changed RSS and atom feeds to include complete entry (use MTEntryBody).
• 01/04/04: Added the atom template. Removed references to MTIfNonEmpty since it wasnt working (even after installing the plugin)
• 12/31/03: To get thumbnail images automatically, installed netpbm and “IPC::Run”:http://www.movabletype.org/cpan/cpan-IPC-Run.tar.gz; also changed ImageDriver in mt.cfg to netpbm.
