Welcome All MuNubys

Welcome to all our nu MuNuvians!

In the sidebar is a section labeled Useful Thingies.

There are several sections that link to all kinds of useful information you'll need to make your transistion smoother. Make sure to read all the comments too as there are more links and updated code samples.

The first section is links to MT User Manuals and the Support Forum.

The second section is links to different types of MuNu blogrolls and instructions on how to implement them in your sidebar.

The third section covers template and stylesheet samples and assistance. The templates are a good place to start if you are trying to figure out what all the templates do and where they are. It will be a bit confusing at first, especially for blog*spot users who are used to one index/stylesheet. Just poke around and you'll figure it out. The color links are pretty cool for helping with your stylesheets.

The fourth section is for Mozilla related tips.

The fifth section links to code samples and installation instructions for different s and doodads (valid MuNu tech-speak) you can include in your templates for improving your reader experience.

The last section is some weird stuff. Make sure you read it.

You can also get help to your questions by using the search feature. This search will search the whole MuNuvian blogroll for the term in the search box. So, you'll get a bunch of hits for whatever you want to know.

If you have any questions regarding coding and formatting, just post here at MuNuviana and you'll get more opinions and assistance than you care for - one thing MuNuviana doesn't lack is opinions!

If you have any bloggers that you think would fit in with the group, post your nomination over at Ellis Island and we'll go over to read your nomination and Yay/Nay.

Thanks, Madfish. I've been hurting my brain on those links all day as I have been trying to make sense out all the incredible options now available. I've been doing this, of course, in lieu of either writing anything or working!

It's a bit overwhelming at first... after you peck around in the templates a bit, it will start to makes sense... the main two files will be the Main Index Template and the Stylesheet.

If you have any specific questions, you can e-mail me at MadfishWillie @ hotmail.com.

Hello Madfish,

Only issue I've ran into is importing. Sent my import file to Pixy Misa and she put it in the import folder, and I get this error:

Importing entries into blog 'Patriot Paradox'
Importing entries as author 'Nick Queen'

Importing entries from file 'nickqueen.txt'
Invalid date format '01/06/2004 03:46:58 '; must be 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM|PM' (AM|PM is optional)

Isn't this the correct format:

DATE: 08/17/2003 05:56:13

It looks like tha right format to me... although Pixy is the expert on it.

You might try this post... there is a link in the comments too that may help. I hope that helps you out some.

You may want to do a search or post a question on the MT Support Forum (link in sidebar)... you'll get a pretty quick response. May sure to tell them you are using MT 2.6 and what software you are importing from.

In any event, if you cannot get it worked out, Pixy would be the man help you with that specific problem. I just kind of help out with the tempaltes and stylesheets thingys, he is the gura or all thingys technical and such.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No offense Pixy! Should be "he put it in the import folder" not she.

Long day...
