Clone Blogs Without Entries and Comments

Selective Cloner is plugin for Movable Type that enables administrators to clone (copy) existing blogs. Unlike the blog cloning tool that comes with MT, Selective Cloner only clones Blog Settings, Permissions, and Templates. This plugin enables you to quickly create new blog with all of the same settings and templates as an existing blog -- in seconds you can have a new blog up and running, with the same look and feel. This is handy for blog networks or organizations who have more than one blog with the same templates.

Installation

Upload the contents of the 'plugins' directory to the 'plugins' directory of your MT install.
Go to "Manage Blogs" at the system level, click the checkbox beside the blog you want to clone, and choose "Clone Blog (Perms,Settings,Templates)".

Do I need to make any changes to the mt-config.cgi file for this plugin to show up in my list? I've added it to the plugins folder and it is still not showing up.
