Hi,
I run Portland Stories (www.portlandstories.org). It's clear to me that Moveable Type would make the whole posting stories process easier, but I have one issue.

On each neighborhood page, there's an "Our Stories" section and a "Your Stories" column (as shown here: http://www.portlandstories.org/nw/). When posting an story w/ MT, these would be 2 different categories, each displayed on their own column on the same page. Would it be possible to do this, i.e. have a page display the stories from the "Our Stories" category in one column, and the stories from a "Your Stories" category in the other, on the same page?

thanks,
Stephen

Yes, that would be easy. You'd use something like this:

CODE

<MTEntries category="Our Stories">
... mtentries stuff...
</MTEntries>

and this where the other one shows:

CODE

<MTEntries category="Your Stories">
... mtentries stuff...
</MTEntries>
