UPDATE: D’oh. This blog is quickly becoming the “continuing story of a webgeek gone to the dogs…”. The problem, believe it or not is caused by a moose. A floppy moose.

It seems that my user-Content.css file thinks that some of the MT images are ads. Clearing out the ad-blocking stuff has MT working just fine. In fact, it’s probably my fault for not just using the default directory names. I’m so dumb.

Unfortunately this just brings up another difficult choice: Ad blocking or MT? Maybe with some luck I can turn images that point to mt.cgi back on.

So I spent about 3 hours yesterday messing with my brand spanking new MoveableType installation wondering what I was doing wrong. You see, I was following the directions included in the documentation, but I couldn’t get to any of the configuration options because there didn’t seem to be any links to them in my web browser.

As a last ditch effort, I go to my daughter’s computer and fire up IE. [I know friends don't let friend use IE, but it's the only browser that works with the sites she uses (their fault, not ours).] And whaddya know? It works.

So now I’m left in a quandary: Use the browser I love, or the CMS that everyone says is so wonderful?

Right now I’m leaning to blogging in one and browsing in the other, but it makes me feel like a real sell-out. I’m hoping this is just a freak occurrence, and some sort of upgrade will make all the pain go away.
