Taking Advantage of Community Features

Movable Type makes available to everyone a variety of community features that help turn any blog or web site into a more social and interactive community. Movable Type comes with several reference implementations of these features to help users take advantage of them all. However, most users will probably not want to start over with a new design just to take advantage of these features. Most users will want to modify an existing design to add these features to it. The following documentation will assist users in this process by clearly outlining the changes necessary to take advantage of each individual feature.
