Coding templates in Movable Type

mt4 bugIt should be no shock to you that we use Movable Type here on the Wizbang family of blogs, and we're proud to tell everybody we do. Yes, there's a great sense of pride using an anonymous pseudonym as extol the virtues of the blogging platform we use.

While we're in the transition from the closed source Movable Type 3 and lower, and moving to the open source Movable Type 4 and higher, I'd like to focus on what the Six Apart folks are doing. I'd also like to show that you WordPress people have been having you fun, but now we're bringing blogging back.

Or something.

Regardless, Anil Dash posts something for the new folks coming to Movable Type on movabletype.org. In Tags, Variables, and Templates, Oh My!, Anil shows off the power of MT tags, and how you can really get into your templates and make them do some very complex things. With that complexity comes a price, and you can get way over your head, quickly.

For power users, this is a good thing. But they've made it simple for anybody to mess with the templates with the StyleCatcher plugin.
