If you scoot across to http://www.updownleftright.net, you can see what i've done so far, and hopefully by clicking on the portfolio section, you can see a bit of what i want to acheive.
You see, i've pretty much got MT working for a plain and simple blog (and yes before anyone points it out to me, i know the front page isn't working at the moment
), but what I want is to use MT to power the portfolio portion of the site.If I lay out what i'd ideally like, hopefully some of you guys will have seen something like this done before, and can share your experience and help me get this going the way I want it to...
I'd like to have a second blog, called portfolio, in which I can add new images to the gallery using the standard posting tools of the MT backend.
I could maybe display a selection of images on a front page, and then use the archives to display individual images (and comments) in the way I have laid out the example page on the site now.
The bit thats confusing me is how I could use the standard format of the 'post new entry' fields to seperate the various elements of the portfolio entries so they can be called seperately later (eg date, description, the actual link to the image file, a thumbnail of the image...)
If anyone can decipher those ramblings, and has any ideas they are willing to share I would be incredibly grateful.
Do your worst then!
