For those of you who are itching to add a "currently reading" list to your side bar, but haven't had time to read the documentation, here is a cut and paste example:
<div class="sidetitle">Currently Reading</div>
<div class="side">
<MTList name="books">
1590521471
1581344988
0684823853
</MTList>
<MTListLoop name="books">
<MTwair imagesize="s">
<a href="<$MTwairURL$>"><img src="<$MTwairImage$>" border="1" title="<$MTwairName$>, by <$MTwairAuthor$>" alt="<$MTwairName$>, by <$MTwairAuthor$>" /></a>
</MTwair>
</MTListLoop>
</div>
You could also replace the ASIN with an MTInclude statement like this one:
<$MTInclude file="reading.inc"$>
That way you can create an Index Template called "reading.inc" to keep the list of books in. that can be helpful in someways and a pain in others. Ideally if you did that, you would have some other outside way of populating that list. For most people, though, including the numbers within the template is fine.
Please comment here if you have any trouble or questions.
