Customizing the Category Template for Movable Type
Finally! An article that will help me modify my category archives. Right now, the default template for your category archive in Movable Type 3.0 lists the entire entry of EACH article in that category. If you have a lot of articles (esp. long ones), you may prefer (as I do) to have your Category page list the titles of each article (which is linked to the full individual article) as well as maybe a brief excerpt from the articles. Elise’s Movable Type Tutorial pages provide you with just the information on how to do this. Thanks Elise! I can’t wait to implement this in my Online Travelogue blog that is made using Movable Type 3.0. As it is, I only just figured out how to add a list of categories in the sidebar on the main page. Now how could that have been missing from the default main index page? I’ll post the code for that in a bit, but right now I’ve got to grab some dinner!!
