Easy MovableType BlogRoll part II

In a previous entry, I showed how it was easy to use the OtherBlog MT plugin to setup an easy blogroll. Kerim Friedman asked in a comment if it was possible to print out all the entries in the secondary blog, grouped by category. Fortunately, the OtherBlog plugin supports this kind of output by nesting a <MTCategories> element in the <MTOtherBlog> element. Example:

<MTOtherBlog blog_id="6">

<MTCategories>

<div class="sidetitle"><$MTCategoryLabel$></div>

<div class="side">

<MTEntries sort_by="title" sort_order="ascend">

<a href="<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0"$>" ><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />

</MTEntries>

</div>

</MTCategories>

</MTOtherBlog>

That's it...pretty easy.

One "tweak" I did to your code was to change the following:

" target=blank>

This way, the links open up in a new window.
