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:

• 01/04/03: Changed RSS and atom feeds to include complete entry (use MTEntryBody).
• 01/04/03: 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; also changed ImageDriver in mt.cfg to netpbm.
