Top nav is built-in

The Mid-Century theme for MT has an hidden feature that I think a lot of people will appreciate. You might have noticed the addition of a horizontal navigation bar on this site. If you're using this theme and want to enable top nav it's really easy.

Go to the Templates page and edit the "Banner Header" template module. At the very end of this file you'll see a div called "nav" that's wrapped by <mt:Ignore> tags. Simply remove the opening and closing <mt:Ignore> tags and add any additional items you want in the navigation. Republish your site and you're all set.

You can download a beta version of the Mid-Century theme at movabletype.org. The final version should be ready soon.
