ITConv is a plugin that adds your IT Conversations program queue to your Action Streams. Before you can use ITConv, you must have installed and configured Action Streams.

Installing the Plugin

Download the tarball.

Put the .tgz file in your MT directory (the one with /plugins and /mt-static in it) and issue this command:

 tar xzvf ITConv-plugin.tgz

Add the following line to the top of your style sheet template:

 @import url(plugins/ITConv/css/ITConv.css);

Now, add the service in your "Other Profiles" section of MovableType (managing users). The ID is your personal program queue number. If you go to IT Conversations and click on the "Queue" tab, you'll see something like this on the page toward the bottom:
