Since I upgraded my MovableType I've been doing some playing around with the StyleCatcher. StyleCatcher is a plugin that is supposed to provide an easier way to find and install new themes for your MT blog.
It hasn't been working at all so my blog has been looking pretty messed up since I started tinkering with it.
Today I figured out what the problem is.
This version of the blog is a couple years old, having started out on some 2.x version of Movable Type. Each time an upgrade would come out, I'd update the code and the database and be done with it. I never messed with the templates, really so I didn't know that there were some pretty big changes in the templates since this site was rebuilt. The old tags in the old Main Index template wasn't translating back to what the system was using to call the Style elements.
I created a new blog from scratch and copied its Main Index template and now things are looking pretty good.
I switched the sidebar over to using the new Widget Manager while I was at it.
