Can you help me?

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to put my banner image and sidebar into other pages, like the single entries that Bloglines links to or the archives page? I am pretty new at this computer stuff but I'm ready to learn. If anyone can give me tips or point me in the right direction of where I can find help, I'll be very grateful.

Knit on!

I don't actually know how to do it but I do know what you need to use - cascading style sheets (css) and that makes everything look the same. Sorry I can't give you better help than that. I think if you can find a book like HTML for Dummies it will tell you everything you need.

sorry! i can't help either... i cheat and use typepad.

you need to copy the stuff from your "mainpage" template to the "archives" template - the picture in your banner isn't captured by the CSS.... i could explain but don't think i can write it out... i could send you screenshots? :) hee hee

I can help you. Just e-mail me and we can talk.

I can help you too if you need it, girlie.

I'd be happy to help. I just redid my layout, too, and use movable type 3.2 so I've got all this fresh in my mind.

Here's something that might help you get started with the sidepanel issue:

Also, the problem with the difference in archives vs the Main Page is in the default templates MT provides. They're not the same "look" and don't include the same code.
