ChapterZero

So, today I have not that many things to do: clean a little, move stuff out of my old bedroom and into my new one, so I can use my new and bigger bed, and figure out how to write MT plugins. Oh, and read a lot. So maybe I do have a lot to do.

Right now, I’m reading this article: O’Reilly Network: Developing Movable Type Plug-ins [Mar. 19, 2003]. Meanwhile, I’m browsing through the MT API index, to see if I can figure out how to do more complicated things than are covered in the article. I’m surprised that that article is the most comprehensive tutorial on the MT Plugin architecture that I could find. As references go, the MT API index isn’t too bad– if I really needed to, I could use that and someone else’s code to figure out how to write plugins– but it isn’t exactly the sort of reference that you can use unless you already know what you’re looking for.
