Template Organisation - Sanity At Last!
While I am not a designer, I do like to be able to customise certain aspects of a site's display without being forced to "jump through hoops".
MT 3.* had some level of logic in the organisation of templates, but the default set was a bit complicated to get to grips with at times.
With the arrival of MT4 the template system seemed to improve, but it was still quite complicated in some respects.
The latest iteration of MT4, MT4.2 Pro makes the templates a lot more accessible for the HTML challenged. For the first time (that I am aware of at least) you can now see all of the templates in a single view.
Since the latest version of MT is a bit of a monster, in terms of what it can do, not only do you have control over blog specific templates, but you can also access the system-wide templates (Global Templates), which are accessible from the "system" menu (if you're logged in as an admin).
In the Global Template section you can easily control and customise things like the email footers and a whole range of other options.
Now if only I could actually design .....
