stylecatcher hints for UMN users

As you can see, I've been doing some work with the style of my weblog here at the University. I've noticed some things about the stylecatcher plugin which are worth noting to our users.

First, if you want to browse skin categories from the sixapart page (http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/styles/library) in the stylecatcher, you have to manually enter the addresses as follows:

  • for Pale Palettes, type "http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/styles/library/pale_palettes" in the URL field.
  • for Cool Colors, type "http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/styles/library/cool_colors" in the URL field.
  • etc.

Also, I found instructions for adding the calendar to the base template, which I'd also like to share. Use this updated template for your Main Index template in order to show your calendar:

This is great, Alex. And I'm thrilled with your work on bringing back the calendar! I may write something about this on the main UThink site.
