Advanced Template Set designs are available with the Unlimited, Premium, and Business Class plans. If you are not using an Advanced Template Set for your blog's design, you can add TypeLists to your blog at Design > Content.
MTListInclude
The MTListInclude tag displays your TypeLists as pre-formatted html code blocks in an advanced template. The list items are enclosed automatically in <li>list item</li> markup and the display of the list is set in the advanced configuration for the TypeList.
Use the name attribute to specify the TypeList to display:
<$MTListInclude name="TypeList Name"$>
The TypeList Name is the name you gave the TypeList and is set in the configuration for the TypeList. The name is case sensitive so use it in the tag exactly as it is entered in the TypeList configuration.
You can also use the MTUserLists container to include all of the lists that you have selected to display on your About Page. The name attribute is not used, the MTListInclude tag is surrounded by the MTUserLists container instead:
<MTUserLists><$MTListInclude$></MTUserLists>
MTList
The MTList tags give you full control of the TypeList display. The MTList container loops through the list items and displays each using the MTListItem tag.
Use the name to specify the TypeList to display:
<MTList name="TypeList Name">
<$MTListItem$> <br />
</MTList>
MTListItem Fields
Use field with the <$MTListItem$> tag to specify the field that you would like to display from the TypeList. Each list type (People, Link, Reading, Music) has its own set of valid fields:
