Question

I installed Movable Type and did some tests. Anything works fine. Now, what should I do for styling the generated pages according my need?

Answer

Movable Type uses templates and contents for generating the HTML pages. The templates are made up of HTML and markup. The HTML is left untouched by the generation process. However, the markup is processed. It defines the structure of the final pages. It allows flow control - such as "loop over all entries" - and it is used for accessing the database (such as "insert the entry's title here").

So for styling the website, the templates have to be modified.
