Site design notes...

One of the things that I am attempting to do with MT is to use it to manage all aspects of my website. This isn't turning out as easy as I had initially thought, but I still believe that its possible, so I'll keep plugging away. Its not so much that MT is saying "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS, DON'T EVEN TRY!!"  as its saying "Hmmm...I think we can do this together, can you be more specific?" - obviously, there's a big difference between the two. This morning I noticed a small glitch for instance. The purpose of the main page is simply to provide a quick overview of what is going on within the rest of the site...I will be modifying the template so that only excerpts from the various categories are shown on the main page page. One of the things I noticed though is that when you click through on some of these articles, the category title doesn't track through to the archive page. Based on what I've read, this should be relatively simple to accomodate, I just haven't figured it out yet.


Anyways, I haven't finished my first coffee yet, so perhaps none of this makes sense. Check back later ;)
