Question

I want to change my weblog's banner. However, this is a laborious task. The banner is defined in several templates. Do I always have to change each of these?

Answer

Indeed, the original templates that are distributed with Movable Type are not structured very well. Many parts seem to be copied from template to template. Fortunately, there is a special tag that enables us to write a section for a template once and use it in different situations. Maintenance will be easy, as the changes have to be done at just one location.

Please read Organize your Templates with MTInclude for learning about the MTInclude tag.
