I'm confused. With the default settings, when I click a link to a story I want to read, the the list at the top of the page shows other entries, plus "Main" that are not in the same Category. How do i fix this and, how do I get a neat column showing all the links in that category either to the left or the right of the Body, similar to the index page.

I'm not a programmer so the manual has been little help - it assumes that you are used to reading bare boned descriptions of this stuff.......thanks

On the individual entry page (to read a specific article), the links point to the next and previous entries chronologically, regardless of category. In order to do next-previous by category, you will need to install a plugin.

In order to modify the template to include sidebars, you will need to decide on the proper combination of HTML and CSS to create the design that you want. This is not something that the MT manual can help you with. Once you've designed the layout, then we can help you find the correct template tags to use to display the MT information that you want.

Does anyone have a copy of this plugin? The owners site is down.

I'd give you mine but my site is down too. The plugin author and I are on the same webhost. It seems to be a temporary problem. I hope!
