OK, I've decided to make the move from Greymatter over to Movable Type for the blog. Greymatter is good and all, and I've invested a lot of time getting over the learning-curve, but MT has some features like trackback and such, as well as a more active user-base and continuing updates that I'd like to take advantage of.


I'm slowly puzzling through the process of setting up MT. I'd like to get MT totally set up with the same look as I have currently here with GM and then move over as seemlessly as possible.


Trouble is, I have fairly limited HTML skills, but I've been slogging through the MT style-sheet, bringing stuff in from my current style-sheet and forming the main index template for MT. I'll take it one template at a time, starting with the main index template, getting that set up totally before moving on to the next.


First question! If someone can tell me why the table is screwed up on this page (the new MT blog): http://www.solomonia.com/blog/, I would be ever so appreciative. Specifically, why is the G@%$@DAMN left margin so frickin' fat, and the other two cells so screwed as well? As far as I know, it's supposed to be 150px wide and that's it. The page is supposed to look exactly as this one does (leaving aside some of the colors and fonts - I can handle fixing that).

Further, why aren't the two entries showing up?


As I say, if any HTML and/or MT gurus out there can help, I'd appreciate it. Reply in comments or email me.


Thanks!
