Finding a Template that I like

The Saga continues and I guess the next step is
to find a template that I really like. Like I
said, lots to do still.
First post using Movable Type

This is my first post using movable
type.
It was relatively easy to put it to work following the instructions for installating MT at Windows based servers.
The first challenge that I found was when I ran the mtcheck application and it indicated that it could not recognize mySQL but the hosting company support was quick in resolving the issue (driver not loaded I guess).
The second challenge was when I tried to run the MT config builder app and it indicated that it could not find the mySQL user that I had speficied on the config files. I checked everything that I had access to and all looked fine.
I then tried to split the configuration line (different than what it's written on the official documentation) to have the database name and user name in different lines and the issue disappeared.
It probably took me a little over a couple of hours of work in total to follow the instructions and to get MT working to a point that I could start using the application.
The next job was to understand what needed to be done to create/configure COOLOG and to get this first post done.
Now I have to figure out everything that I can do using it. Looks interesting but it looks like I have lots to read until I can use this software to its full potential.
