      <![CDATA[<p>A recent comment on my post about Promote This! made me cringe.</p>

<blockquote>I'd actually love to use this plugin but the instructions are not clear.
Remember the majority of us are idiots and not as well-versed in plugin
installation as you are. All you smarty MT guys think everyone knows what
you're talking about. I haven't a clue what "Set the current working
directory to your MT_HOME" means, or how to get this plugin working - aside
from knowing I have to upload it via FTP.</blockquote>

<p>So let's see if I can't provide clearer instructions - my apologies to those who had any difficulty.</p>

      <![CDATA[<h3>Promote This! FTP Installation Instructions</h3>

<ol>
<li>Via your FTP client, navigate to the MT directory that contains the file <tt>mt.cgi</tt>.</li>
<li>Then navigate to the <tt>plugins</tt> directory.</li>
<li>Create a directory (mkdir) called <tt>PromoteThis</tt>. Please note, that MT is case sensitive.</li>
<li>Navigate to the <tt>PromoteThis</tt> directory you just created.</li>
<li>Unpack the <tt>PromoteThis-x.y.tar.gz</tt> to your desktop.</li>
<li>Upload the <tt>PromoteThis.pl</tt> located in the <tt>Desktop/PromoteThis-x.y/plugins/PromoteThis</tt> to your FTP server.</li>
</ol>

<p>And you are done. PromoteThis should now be working. If you have any problems, please visit the <a href="http://forums.majordojo.com/?CategoryID=12">Majordojo Support Forums</a> for help.</p>
