I wanted to add a section in my sidebar titled, "About the Writer" where I could fill in a little blurb about myself. I notice a lot of blogs have this feature and wanted to know iof someone could just give me the code to enter into my Main Index. Any help is much appreciated.

every persons code would be different depending on their site. there isn't a special set of codes for it or anything.

The easiest thing to do may be to select and copy the code from your Main Index template. Then, create a new index template, and call it About Me (set the output file to "aboutme.html") and paste your Main index code in there. Then, take out everything between your MTEntries tags including the tags themselves, and replace it with your "about me" stuff. Save and rebuild, and then you should be able to point your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/aboutme.html

Does that help?

That does help. But maybe I'm being misunderstood. I simply wanted to add a sidebar section with some comments about the website. Much like the "About Banterist" section on this site:

http://www.banterist.com/

Are we talking about the same thing?

Two options, both much easier than what I just described: 1. Use your Blog Description field as an "about me" and insert the MTBlogDescription tag in your sidebar at the appropriate spot. You'll need to wrap it in the appropriate CSS div tags so it matches your other sidebar elements 2. Just go to the right spot in your sidebar and start typing away - then add the CSS div tags.

This is what that part of my template looks like:

Just create a new template module called "About" and include it on your index page. (
