I decided to clean up the nasty, table-based quicky template I’d done for the first version of MTS. The new look is not completely new — same basic ideas — and it’s not quite finished, but…

I’ve also upgraded to Textpattern 4.0. So far so good. It seems to offer a bit more flexibility in how things are displayed (for example, comments) and it has a great auto thumbnail creation. In addition, you can provide files for visitors to download without having to fire up your favorite FTP program, and it counts the number of downloads. (I added a few of the Polish Christmas carols from last year to play around with — i.e., format — the feature.)

And you can now get it in Russian! Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?
