I have a few blogs under the same MT installation.

I want to create an index page (index.shtml) (not in MT) that has the blog names in a list down the middle of the page.

When I post to a blog, I would like a graphic or some text like: [new] to appear next to the associated blog name on the index page.

Is this possible? It would be great for my navigation!

Thanks. huh.gif

The simplest thing to do would be to create a blogroll using www.blogrolling.com. Then you display just that blogroll on the index page. As long as your blogs ping either weblogs.com or blogrolling's pinger, everytime you update one of the blogs, a graphic or character of your choosing is displayed next to the updated blog.

You can also do this with PHP.

The PHP function works great - and quite enough for me. Thanks to you people.
