Trying out StyleCatcher 1.01, the bug fix version - and it works. This makes applying or switching styles very easy indeed if you don’t want to (or don’t know how to) edit your templates and style sheets to create a different look-and-feel.
I’m certainly not at the stage yet of creating my own blog design so a tool like StyleCatcher is extremely useful. A very similar concept to the way you do this in TypePad where you can create a particular look by simply selecting a design template and applying it with a couple of clicks.
So the appearance of this blog will likely change in the coming days as I experiment with different styles (the one I’ve just switched to is called Bryant).
I would imagine this feature will be very popular indeed with the type of MT user who looks for styles to apply rather than try and build them him or herself. Someone like me, in fact!
You can read the full details about StyleCatcher 1.01 to learn about its capabilities, and take a look at the MT 3.2 style library to see what styles are currently available. Most of these are what you have in TypePad, too. No doubt more will come in time as more users start using this handy plugin and more people develop new styles.
