With the
shell complete, it did not take much to get the system templates and the community blog templates finished. The reason this took such a short time is because I had already taken the time to "Globalize" my install of Movable Type Pro.
What does this mean? Moving everything that is not required to be local to the blog becomes a global template:
- All template modules
- All Widgets
This also makes updating things in the future that much easier. Thanks goes to
Mark Carey's ConvertToGlobalTemplate plugin, which makes "Globalization" that much easier.
Next is to finish the CSS classes for the body DIV so they match our style guide, and this will be one more item checked off the list.
