Old site, new site, red site, blue site

Okaaaaayyyy…. We should be rolling with the new design now! The front page is up, and all the indicidual entries are being archived off to their individual places. We have a (still pretty basic) search, and even comments are working!

Still to to, though:

  • Add the category archives
  • Convert the monthly archives
  • Tweak the permalinks to be proper slashforward links
  • Update the sidebar. (Lots of sub-tasks here…)
  • And then, maybe, I can go back and clean up some of the HTML in the old content.

I think I need to go to bed now, though…

  1. Tell me oh great and wise Guru of MT templates how did you set up the search facility, and more importantly what do I need to do to get the same thing on my own MT blog.

    New site layout looks good BTW!

  2. The search is done with mt-search (http://www.jayallen.org/mt-search/). It doesn’t integrate with MT quite so tightly as some of the other plugins, but it does the job quite nicely. Despite the current appearance of the search results page, you *can* apply templates to it, and make it look however you want. It’s just that I haven’t had time to do it here yet…
