Hey,

I recently got a Movable Type package and have been struggling over writing my style sheets and templates etc. Pixelpost seems like a perfectly simple alternative and I was wondering if it could somehow be incorporated into MT? Sorry if that's an absolutely bogus question. I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. If not, could anybody point me in the right direction as to where to find style sheets and templates for a one image per page with minimal other stuff type photoblog for Movable Type?

Thanks for listening,

Juice

how do you mean incorporate? could you not simply just create a subfolder title 'pixelpost' or 'photos' which contained the pixelpost program.

Do you want migrate from MT to PixelPost or get CSS and templates from PP to MT??

I would probably do best with CSS and templates from PP to MT. I was mostly asking if anybody had found a simple way to do this yet.

Because MT is in Perl & don't use XHTML it won't be easy to translate PP templates to MT :/
I think that much easier will be to create own, new templates for MT based on code this from PP.

You're right. Sounds dificult. I'm starting to get a hang of editing the CSS and templates. I'll just keep working at it.

Thank you.

There are some good sites about converting MT for photoblogs. Check out the software page on http://www.photoblogs.org for some links.

If you want a photoblog though, PP is the way to go. I run MT for some sites ( http://www.commando.org ) and WordPress for others ( http://www.prouse.org ), but PP is by far the easiest for a photoblog. AND, there are some great templates for PP in the addons section :D

as someone who has wrenched PP into there site with not very many problems i would sujest you design and make a template for MT and then jsut include a basic template from PP somewhere in your MT page. i'm sure theres many ways of doing this.
