Configuring the Footer with Advanced Templates

When you are using Advanced Templates for your blog's design, you'll need to edit your templates directly to make any changes to the post or page footer content. The default tags for the footer in the Main Index, DateBased Archives, and Category Archives templates are:

<div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"></p> <pre><code><$MTTrans phrase="Posted by [_1] at" param="MTEntryAuthorNickname"$> <$MTEntryDate format="%l:%M %p"$> <MTEntryIfCategories><!-- links to the entry's categories --> <$MTTrans phrase="in"$> <MTEntryCategories glue=", "><a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a></MTEntryCategories> </MTEntryIfCategories> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTTrans phrase="Permalink"$></a> <MTEntryIfAllowComments><!-- comment count --> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments"><$MTTrans phrase="Comments"$> (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a> </MTEntryIfAllowComments> <MTEntryIfAllowPings><!-- trackback count --> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#trackback"><$MTTrans phrase="TrackBack"$> (<$MTEntryTrackbackCount$>)</a> </MTEntryIfAllowPings> </p><!-- .entry-footer-info --> </code></pre> <p></div><!-- .entry-footer -->
