Ta-Da! [Redux]

Welcome to the refreshed salguod.net, again. After doing a little digging, I'm trying again with the new template set. I found a way to work around the change in URLs, more on that later. Comments are still broken, but I'll work on that soon, but maybe not until Monday. They're working again, but I'm trying a new anti-spam plugin. We'll see how it goes.

One of the neat things about MT4 is there are finally some neat template sets available. There were some in MT 3.x, but the Stylecatcher plugin was, for me anyway, impossible to get to work. Then, all the styles relied on you having pretty much the default templates, meaning your layout was pretty standard. Not that I broke any ground here stylistically, but I did want to play with the layout some.

With MT4, there's now something called template sets which you can apply to you blog. These include both style and layout, giving a lot more flexibility. This one is called Mid Century, and it's pretty popular on MT4 blogs right now. There are others as well, and I may give them a try later. I like this clean look.

If you're reading right after its application,there are likely some things a little broken, the big one being comments. I've got to add in my anti-spam code to the template to re-enable them. I've got to figure out where to do that first.

Another test comment ... (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)

Yet another test, now from IE6.

OK, here goes in IE 7. So far, same as FF.

I've looked at your code as compared to my own (also using Mid-Century) and the only difference I can see is that you're referencing theme-javascript and not actually using it (this is for the gallery). Try deleting that reference from your header and see if it makes a difference. Can't see why it would but you never know.
