Templates and styles are all the basis for the look and feel of your blog. I figured while relaxing tonight that I would play with trying to grab a style with the installed Stylecatcher from other than one of the MT-hosted style libraries.
Only one that I found that worked so far was at Majordojo, so I grabbed his Cutline style and applied it in just one click. Now, if others who have designed and published styles would get to the MT4 standard, there would be many more available. Then again, I guess I need to design and publish a few myself! Add it to the list...
Note - one major repository for MT styles can be found at TheStyleArchive.com. While they say that you can use Stylecatcher to grab any of the styles found there, unfortunately, it is geared towards MT3. There is a suggested work-around that I found at Movable Tweak, but I have not tried it yet. The workaround has an interesting closing paragraph...

I know that using the old templates certainly isn't ideal, and because of that, we're working to get the TSA styles functional with the MT4 default templates. Realize, however, that it's going to take some time as converting stylesheets isn't always as simple as search-and-replace.Since the date of the entry is July 30, 2007, I guess it isn't moving forward very quickly.
