Hi. I'm developing my company's website, which is intended to be a javascript-filled single-page site. Within this single page I want to have an updatable section of blog-style entries. How can I implement this function with MovableType? The theme/template structure seems to make this process not obvious. So I would have to move the css/js files? Where do I put my html files?
I didn't find any documentation on this.
Thanks

Hi,
What is nice about movable type is that you could produce anything you would imagine.
You could start from a default template set, but then you would change the default templates with what you need.
If you have one single page, you would put the coding for that inside an index template, say the "Main Index" one.
The section that would contain the blog entries summary could be inside that "Main Index" template, or could be called as a template module. You could call that template module as you wish, say "Blog Entries Summary".
You would also need an Entry template for the individual page for each and every blog entry, if not also a main blog page, and entry listing (at least for Category archives) to archive your blog entries.
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru

ahh I figured it out just before seeing your post! I copied all my files as website templates and there it is! I supposed I was confused by the page/blog/website and theme/template terminology. I'll have more to learn on implementing the MT tags, but I got this far in a day and a half, so you're right MT seems more flexible that drupal, so thanks!
You're welcome!
Yes, MT is a very friendly and easy to adapt CMS solution.
