Two Tricks from the MT Support Forum:

Of course if you are using CSS to its fullest, you can create printer-friendly pages by simply changing stylesheets. There is a tutorial at Evolt that explains how.

Unfortunately the Random Entries tutorial doesn’t appear to be linking properly, it just shows the support forum, not an individual article.

Also a question that was posted on the support forum, but perhaps you can help?:

I’ve just converted from Livejournal to MT, but I’m stuck on a minor problem:
I wish to upload a picture with each entry, but I want that picture to be a hyperlink back to the original article as per my previous site Technology Log

I’m currently trying to do this with Ecto, which will allow me to upload the image, and even make a thumbnail of it (is there a way to resize it to max 120 pixels either horizontally or vertically and not bother with thumbnail? would cut down on download time and filespace).

Also is it possible to reference each pic to each article? so that the image can appear within the Recent Entries column along with the article’s title?
