Im new to MT and im looking for the best way to design my own template. Later I want to implement the MT modules into these template designs. What is the best way to work with this? Thanks Mats

  • MatsLykke - how familiar are you with PHP, HTML and/or CSS? With just a little knowledge of these things you can build some pretty dramatic web sites. MT's template language relies on these technologies/languages a great deal, and our markup/tag language is itself very intuitive and easy to grok/read.

    My methodology is to take three key pages, like the front door, the permalink page, and a category page and build those out locally with just HTML and CSS. Once I am happy with my design I start integrating in MT template tags to replace place holder content that I create with templated content from MT.

    Does that make sense?
