More snow blew in this weekend. On Sunday, I spent most of the day snowed it as another storm blanketed the town. Can’t believe I’ll be in Thailand by the end of this week.

While I’m at it, these links on creating multiple blogs via MovableType will be useful.

• Creating a site index from multiple blogs
• Recently Updated Blogs, how to show recently updated blogs
• Most recent entries list, for ALL blogs
• MT hacks: Multiple blog Updates List
• Portal Page - using PHP to gather multiple blog snippits

Note to self: If you do decide to use MovableType to build an upcoming web project, consider building the entire site using MT. Brad Choate does it, so why can’t you?

Brad Choate: Doing your whole site with MT

From what I gather, Brad is the man when it comes to MovableType and what it can do.

One project I might take on this weekend would be to learn more about MoveableType. It’s a useful blogging tool that I’m considering using for an upcoming personal project I’ve had in the back of my mind for some time.

In learning more about MT, I’m sure I’ll reference mediatinker’s handy guide, found here:

mediatinker.com: “Tackling Movable Type templates and CSS for the first time can be daunting. The MT default templates contain four kinds of code: CSS, HTML, MT tags, and Javascript. If you’re new to all this, you’re about to learn that it pays to make a careful study of the code. Once you understand the way it works together, it’s pretty easy to modify your MT templates to display almost any design you want. “

Looks like we’ll be getting some snow this weekend. Tonight, we are expecing three to five inches with another four to seven inches falling on Saturday. Looks like tomorrow will be a good day to do laundry, play video games, and work on a few web projects.
