MT tutorials and code
After several requests for tutorials on the MT boards, I've put together some tutorials and codes for Movable Type on a few different topics. These could be modified to fit other blogging software or just normal page designs as well.
The first is a 3 column layout. It is all css, based on the default MT stylesheet and my own version of the bluerobot technique for flanking sidebars.
The second is a Photoblog layout. Its also all css, and has a more indepth tutorial on how to use this format for SUPER-easy posting of your images. The design is also based on the default MT stylesheet, with similar tweaks that my own personal photoblog uses. A photoblog in MT is an ideal place to try out the Next/Previous Category hack from this site!!
I hope these help somebody!

mmkay.. I'm using the Photoblog template you suggested.. but when I rebuild the files, it adds a < or <p> or > tag to the < or <moretextlink> or >. Any ideas on how to change this? (I hope I'm explaining myself effectively.)

haha. sorry about that crazy post.. i wasn't paying attention to the tags. sooowwy.

Sorry, you are right - I need to add this to the tutorial - turn off the convert line breaks on the posts (you can make that a default by visiting the blog config). This will make your images show up instead of giving them <p></p> tags around the img src!
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to make the category wrap under the picture? I'm using the photoblog template without the title and only the category under each picture but I have some long categories that cause the pics to move over. Can I wordwrap these somehow to stay under the picture?
