Thanks so much for stopping by Andy – your chapter will be really useful for MT beginners Perhaps there’s more room for a book on blog design, usability, functionality, plugins etc?

Hi Rachel,

I’ve not seen all the other chapters, but my chapter covers how to install MovableType, create a design, build it in CSS and then turn it into a MT template. As such, quite a lot is covered in a fairly short space of time, and design is just one part of it. Because of this, I see the book being most use to those dipping their toes into the blogshpere and wanting to evaluate a number of different blogging tools.

Drew unfortunately wasn’t able to work on the book in the end, so his place was taken by John who discusses Textpattern. Richard Rutter also wrote a chapter on rolling your own PHP blog, but seems to have been missed of the Amazon listing which is a bugger.

Enjoying the new design btw, so keep up the good work
