That's not a documentation issue, it's an architectural one. There are always going to be places where the use of raw PHP for template tags intimidates non-coders, but that's our problem rather than yours.

If that is not so, then it should be improved. Yes, but I guess with the template tag descriptions at the wiki, things are not too difficult to figure out.

After encounters with some of the more arcane multi-parametered template functions in Wordpress, MT tags were a breeze. Of course, MT then complicate things by giving you a dozen templates to edit, so what you gain on one side you lose on the other.

I think in reality it took me 13 minutes. ;-) The thing that concerned me most, being an MT user for the past year plus, was losing my archives by switching to a different "personal publishing platform." That process went far better than I expected and when I can nudge the style sheet and template into looking like I want I intend to leave MT behind for good. Hey, thanks for the shout out.
