1] I'd like to be able to have one entry per page [I usually only write one in a given day, so the dates shouldn't screw it up].

2] I'd also like the individual archived entries to display the same way as the did when first posted [ie - same as the main page].

3] And, on the archive page for each month, I only want the titles of the entries and not the entries themselves.

4] Also, I followed a tutorial for making a static "about" page in the templates. Everything was really easy to understand, but I can't figure out where to find the page I created!

I know these things are probably extremely remedial, but any help would be great!

Thanks!

1) In the main index template, find

CODE
<MTEntries>


and replace it with

CODE
<MTEntries lastn="1">


2) You would need to edit the Individual Archive template in your templates section, and add the sidebar to it. This will take some knowledge of html/css to achieve.

3) The archive pages for each month, you need to edit the containers to get rid of MTEntryBody and just leave the title.

Somiething simliar to this might work for you:

CODE
<MTEntries>
<a href="<MTEntryPermalink>" ><MTEntryTitle></a> <br />
</MTEntries>


does that help?

Yes! The first thing worked beautifully.

Lisa,

When you say "3) The archive pages for each month, you need to edit the containers to get rid of MTEntryBody and just leave the title. ", which template are you talking about? I cannot find "MTEntryBody" in any of them. My blog is younger thatn one month, however...

I love the feature and want to have it in my archives and categories.

Thanks in advance.
