Today I recoded my website into Movable type 5.0. A new and annoying feature is that a Movable Type blog must now be part of a website. Since my website is a blog, I needed to be able to publish my blog to my homepage (ie, tobeythorn.com) rather than a subdirectory like tobeythorn.com/blog/. The solution turned out to be quite simple.
After installing Movable Type 5.0, I made a new website in the Movable Type Dashboard and set the Website URL to be my homepage (ie, http://tobeythorn.com/) and set the Website Root to be the root web directory (ie, /home/tobeytho/public_html/). Then I made sure not to publish the website so that when I publish my blog to the same directory, it won't interfere. Finally, I made a new blog and set the Blog URL to be the same as the Website URL and the Blog Root to be the same as the Website Root. Since publishing my blog, everything been working as intended.
