47610, do you use that in conjunction with publishing software?

I see it talks about working in sync with GoLive, what about Dreamweaver? What do you use, Jdee?

you have to have a mysql database to install moveable type.

the thing is when you use blogger or movable type you have to put specific <tags> in order for the system to work.

thats what is says that it works with all those html editors, cause you just have to put the proper tags for your constant page elements like post date, post time, the posts themself and other shit.

you create a page template for movable type to use to create all the html pages for you.
47617, so, for instance,

I could give the program my www.slangdigital.com page template, and it would know where to stick everything?

You mean, like, I could set up different pages on the site for the old blogs, and it would automatically set up the links archives when I told it to archive the old stuff?
47630, kinda.

first of all movable type isnt a program really...

its more like a interface for making your posts and catalogin' everything.

you put all the movable type files on your slangdigital server with the mysql database to hold you shit
47632, honestly...

just set up a blogger account

its the simple way to get it done.

you can still use your slangdigital address you just have to give blogger your ftp info

>you can still use your slangdigital address you just have to
>give blogger your ftp info

If I have a blogger account, why would they need my ftp stuff? What function does that play into? I'm still very new to web authoring, I pretty much only learn things when I NEED them.

because the blogger service will create your html pages for you.

upload them to your server for you.

it will keep the files organized in archives and allow comments from users that visit.
47646, ok, I'll look into that. Thanks, doggie. Answer me this tho,

47749, yeah, I'm having a hard time getting Blogger to do what I need.

I think I'm gonna try this.

So, like, can I just take my regular html/css page and insert it into Wordpress, and then that will let me just insert text and it will load and archive everything automatically?
