As part of getting to grips with MT and its templates, I’ve started amending the templates for this site. If you pay close attention, you see the site start to incrementally change.
The first change I’m making is installing the SmartyPants 1.4 plugin, from John Gruber [who authors the excellent Daring Fireball site].
Anyone who knows me will know that I take pride in my typesetting [and am constantly frustrated by the low quality of website [and other] typography generally]. A piece of software which advertises itself as: smart punctuation for web sites has got to be a good idea.
I’m impressed by this plugin and it gave me the opportunity to get a feel for the way templates work in MT.
