Shady Theme for Movable Type

Shady contains two themes for Movable Type: a blog and a photo gallery.

This is an old theme -- my first, in fact -- originally developed for a client in 2007(?), I believe. It surely contains lots of old and outdated methods, though I have begun updating some of that (example: making better use of Config Assistant and Theme Manager's capabilities).

Prerequisites

Movable Type Pro

Required plugins:

Optional, but useful plugins:

Getting Started

Create blog(s) and specify the Config Directives, then visit the main blog's documentation for more details on set up (found at Design > Theme Dashboard > Documentation).

Create Blogs

Create a new blog with the "Shady Theme Pack (Blog)" template set. Optionally, also create a new blog with the "Shady Theme Pack (Photo Gallery)" template set.

Config Directives

Add the following config directives to mt-config.cgi:

MainBlogID [blog ID]
PhotoGalleryBlogID [blog ID]

The PhotoGalleryBlogID is optional, and is only needed if you've created a photo gallery blog. Of course, [blog ID] should be replace with the ID of the blog.
