Michael asked me to do a version of my script here for categories (It’s PHP). It was actually easier to do. (The code for this is shown in the “show more” block)…

but I’m working on doing this as a “show/hide” expand option. (It shows a list of categories, you click on the category and it shows the entries for that category). If this is already done somewhere, save my sanity and post the link… otherwise I’ll update this post when I have time to figure it out.

UPDATE: I’ve now also added the code that uses the “hide/show more” javascript below This also uses a little bit of PHP, but if you need it without, I think there’s an easy way to make it 100% javascript.

Rannie pointed me to this link that shows a way to have more than one photo in one entry using php. I haven’t tried it myself - but it looks pretty cool. (You can see how Rannie used that code here (click on the little boxes below that photo).

Also, if you’re into photoblogs, you probably noticed that it wasn’t a category in this year’s bloggies - so “if you’re not invited to the party - best thing to do is have your own!” LOL! Here’s a contest just for photoblogs! (run by Rannie)

MT ref search (implemented on this blog actually!) has been updated - and it is cooler than ever. You can see the details and get the latest version here. If you’d like to see it in action, click here, then click on the link back here to scriptygoddess…) (I especially like the “hightlight” option) Very cool!!

I’ve needed these so many times I’ve lost count. So I don’t need to dig to find them again, here are a few html special characters and how to make them:

The Movable Type calendar currently features an option to have the current day highlighted by use of the MTCalendarIfToday tag. But this tag is not dynamic, it only refreshes the information on the rebuild of your calendar template. If you’d like this to work automatically with php to autodetect the date (within the same month), I put together a tutorial with code to copy and paste. Movable Type: Calendar using PHP to autodetect date. Hope this helps someone, its been an oft-requested option on the MTForums!

Sometime back I wanted a script that would allow me to display a “footnote” (a little extra sidebar info). I played around with a few scripts - even tried to write one myself (it sucked! LOL!) but someone sent me this link tonight and it looks really really cool. It *is* javascript based, so not sure what happens to people who don’t have javascript. Might play around with it if I have some time…
