FAQ: How to handle special Entries?

I understood that each entry is placed on the main index page. Some of my entries are "something special". They should never be placed on the start page. How can I achieve this?

I have a couple of categories. I preferred if entries belonging to one category were styled in a different way than entries belonging to another category. Can I have per category templates?

I always use the »Entry Body« and the »Extended Entry« when creating a new entry. Then a »continue reading« link appears on my start page, pointing to the Individual Entry Archive. When clicking the link, the entry appears. However, it is scrolled vertically, so that the lines of the »Extended Entry« are on top of the screen. I do not like that. Can it be avoided?

I have a couple of categories. When using the MTCategories tag, these are sorted by name. However, I preferred if I could choose the order manually. There is a logical order of the categories, and the categories should be listed in that order. Can it be done?

FAQ: Using Categories with duplicate Names
04/11/2000
Movable Type does not allow duplicate category names, even if the two categories are under different parent categories. Can this restriction be avoided?

In Movable Type, entries or comments or other objects are often shown in lists. For example, the main index shows the most recent entries, a category archive also shows entries, or an individual entry archive shows comments. I preferred if not all items in such lists were styled the same. For example, there should be an alternating white / gray background. How can this be done?
