Add a Blogarithm form or button to your Movable Type 2.5 or 2.6 blog:

If you use Movable Type, adding the Blogarithm form to your blog involves editing the templates that MT uses to create web pages. At a minimum you will want to change the "Main Index" template so that the form shows up on your blog's home page. The following steps show how to do that.

  1. Log in to Movable Type

  2. Find your weblog on the Main Menu. Choose "Manage Weblog."

  3. From the links in the left column, choose "Templates"

  4. From the list of index templates, choose "Main Index"

    5. This takes you to the template editing page, where you will make changes to your blog.

  5. The template shows up in the big text box labeled "Template Body."

    6. You need to add the HTML you generated with the Bloggers Tools page. You have a choice where you put the sticker. The easiest place to put it is at the top of the sidebar. To do that, you will need to scroll down about halfway until you see the line <div id="links">:

    Paste the html for the form after that line:

  6. Click the "Save" button to save your changes.
  7. Click the "Rebuild" button to make the form show up on your website.

    8. This will pop up a small window that controls rebuilding. Click the "Rebuild" button in that window to make the actual rebuild happen.

  8. When the rebuild finishes, the small window will display the message "Your index template 'Main Index' has been rebuilt."

    9. You're done! You can close the small window. The Blogarithm form should now be visible at the top of the sidebar of your blog:

  9. You may have noticed that there are many templates that Movable Type supports.

    10. In particular, there are archive templates for the monthly, category and individual archives. If you would like to add the Blogarithm form to those pages as well, repeat steps 3 through 8 for the archive templates.
