Al-Muhajabah's Movable Type Tips

MT allows you to set some keywords for each entry (if you don't see a keywords field when you go to add a new entry, use the "customize the display of this page" link to add it).

Using the Related Entries by Keyword plugin, I create a list for each entry of other entries that also feature at least one of the keywords. The plugin searches the database and returns the matching entries.

If you assign keywords to entries in an intelligent manner (which I try to do, not always successfully), this can be a useful way for visitors to find other entries that you've written about that specific topic. It's especially handy if your categories are quite broad and cover a lot of different topics.

You can sort the list of related entries by using the sort_by and sort_order attributes on the MTEntries tag such as by date or by title.
