Two New MovableType Tips
Wandering around tonight I stumbled across two new, handy little scripts for MovableType for those who want to further customize their weblogs. First is this graphical date tutorial from Garrett Murray of Maniacal Rage, which details how to create date stamps for your entries using images joined together by MovableType when a post is published. The methodology is quite simple, and can actually be applied to just about any dynamic publishing solution you can think of. Second is this expanding categories script from Scriptygoddess which offers both php and javascript code for creating expandable, tree-like category listings. Check out the demo for a closer look.

For the expandable list, you might want to look into something like the tree view at http://youngpup.net, it expands/collapses in realtime without a refresh of the page.
I am sure that it could be modified to work with MT pretty easily, I am running b2 and have been considering using it.

Thanks much for the link, Todd. Hope it inspired some people to do something fun with their usually uninspired dates.
