Hi Mike!

If you got that PHP code, you can use this in your smarty .tpl file:

Ah, what the hell, what's another 5 minutes if you're already late, right? :wink:

So I just had a look at the MT Squash template ... hm, that's not much in that template dir ...

I am just learning how to use Serendipity, and am trying to get our look and feel down.

I renamed the MT3-Squash template to my own name, and uploaded it so I can work on my own style.
