One of the things I like about MovableType is how easy updating the index.php file is (as well as the CSS file). Our default blogging software for the subsites is Cafelog (for a couple reasons, one - you can run multiple copies of Cafelog on the same MySQL database, two - MT has a weird licensing structure). In order to update Cafelog's index.php file, you have to upload a new copy via ftp. You have to do the same thing with the CSS file as well.
MT on the other hand lets you edit it all within the system, all you have to do is press 'Rebuild' and poof, it works.
Anyways, I've also bumped into one of those annoying [/div] problems. If you goto DrPersonal.com and look at the right column you'll see that it ends properly -- versus Movementarian.com where it ends abruptly. And yes, I've checked the code several times -- I think it's a CSS thing. (Note: if you are reading this in the archive because time has elapsed you can show this to your history professor as an example of a first-hand account/primary source -- they'll be impressed that the Internet now includes that [snicker]).
The templates... yes, we're getting those together. The guy in charge of that has had the most difficult time trying to get them integrated into Cafelog, something about them not being translated correctly. If I have to wait any longer I might end up having to learn something after all [shivers].
