Blink It for MovableType

Ok, have I become a Blinker? Damn straight! It is now obvious with the addition of a Blink It! link at the bottom of every post. The Blinklist team has instructions for adding a Blink It! link for Blogger and WordPress, as well as generic instructions for other blogs. Well, since I use MovableType, I took a few minutes to hack into my templates and figure out how to do it. So, here's the way to do it. You have to open up to four templates, depending upon the archiving method you use: Main Index, Category Archive, Date-based Archive, and Individual Entry Archive. i placed the Blink It! link right after the Permalink in each entry. You can opt for either using the Blink graphic or a text link. I opted for the latter since it fit in better with my layout. Here is the code you need to paste into the template to generate the link with your entry's title, permalink, and tag. Note that I am terrible about tagging the category for entries so I just used the blog title entry. So here is the code required: Blink It! with the graphic: <a href="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?Action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=<$MTEntryPermalink$>&Title=<$MTEntryTitle$>&Tag=<$MTBlogName encode_html="1"$>"><img src="http://www.blinklist.com/Theme/Graphic/Blink_Small_Button.gif" alt="Blink It" style="border-width:0px;" /></a> Blink It! with a text link: <a href="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?Action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=<$MTEntryPermalink$>&Title=<$MTEntryTitle$>&Tag=<$MTBlogName encode_html="1"$>">Blink It!</a> Remember that when you are done modifying your templates, you must rebuild your site for the changes to take affect! So, share the love! Feel free to steal the code for your MT blog!
