Usually a weblog is not the best place to give a good introduction into a certain subject. The author writes about whatever he wants. He doesn't care whether the current entry fits to the last entry or not. With this sitemap I want to give a complete listing of all entries and bring some structure into the chaos.

You can also use a simple list or a category-grouped list of all entries.

Why do I start a weblog?

There are probably many reasons for starting a weblog. Maybe you are interesting in mine.

• In the Beginning nothing but Problems
• Wake up!
• Trying to be a Global Player

Basics

When I first read a weblog I thought its structure was rather difficult to understand. If you have similar problems, you should read my introduction into Movable Type.

• Movable Type Basics / 2
• Movable Type Basics / 3
• Weblog Spamming Basics

Installation

Installing Movable Type under Windows 2003 has not been easy, because the installation description was not sufficient for me. The following entries would have helped me a lot.

• Installation under Windows 2003
• Migrating to MySQL

Problems

When working with Movable Type problems arise. Maybe you have similar problems. Then read the following entries.

• Strange characters in the generated HTML files

Configuration

A Movable Type weblog can be configured according to your ideas. You can change the design and you can define the logical structure of the generated pages.

• Organize your Templates with MTInclude
• What is a Permalink?

Plugins

One of Movable Type's most extraordinary features is the plugin architecture. Almost anything can be changed and the installation of plugins is trivial. The plugins that I use regularly are described here.

• Filename with Underscore or Dash?
• Umlauts in Filenames
• Comparison needed for conditional Generation
• Build Conditions with the Compare Plugin
• Avoid Spam Comments
