My next Movable Type projects

Alaskan Lake Movable Type Professional Style

The Professional website template set has not gotten the attention that it deserves from designers so far, which is why I decided to start turning these WordPress themes into styles for the Professional Template Set. I think that the screenshot shown here is, over all, very faithful to the original WordPress theme. I hope to have this style completely finished, cleaned up and packaged on my themes blog. I also need to do some clean up on other WordPress themes to get them ready for release as well. There is just not enough time these days. At any rate, this is the second style that I have worked on for this template set, iNove being the first one.

Hi

Thanks for converting these. I was going to look for some people to do this for me.

Just had a look at MT. Code looks a lot better than WP gubbins.

You're welcome. Some changes will have to be made because the goal is to keep from having to change the templates (Movable Type separates templates and styles, whereas WordPress does not), but I am doing my best to stay faithful to the original look and feel.

Yeah. I noticed that MT seperated the style from template. Not really sure how that works.

Do you have to work within a HTML framework with MT?

I have always thought that using PHP for templates is a terrible idea. It would be easy to stick in some malicious code to bomb out someone's server.

Send me an email when they/it is done and I will add a link to you on the theme page.

Do you have to work within a HTML framework with MT?

MT has a series of tags (and an API for adding more tags) that are put into the HTML documents, and when MT processes a template, it executes those tags and produces a final HTML output.

It would be easy to stick in some malicious code to bomb out someone's server.

I'm just waiting for someone to hack a few of the major themes on wordpress.org and insert the following PHP statements:

$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM $wpdb->posts");
$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM $wpdb->comments");

That would be funny. I can't see WordPress changing there ways though. There is not much question that WP is easy to use and does all you want - just dont look beneath the bonnit. I make all my sites using XSL. It's the unquestionale best choice for templating. I am also working on a comprehensive form templating language similar to XForms, XFL. Should be finished by end of the week.
