Preview

Previewing a post has now been moved to a window which pops up, showing a normal blog page with what the post would look like. This way previewing won't be nearly so cramped as it used to be with the preview area above the post composition area.

Miscellaneous updates
  • Fixed the spelling checker to unselect words when selecting the next word.

  • Fixed the bug which caused the spell checker to not come up at all in IE. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in IE6 — it won't show the suggestions when selecting a new word, but this is progress. At least it shows the (possibly) mis-spelled words and allows one to manually correct them. I'll get it to fully work on IE soon. (It is still a beta feature, after all.)

  • Added a feature to the co-blogger report to allow for a maximum word count per post, so as not to reward a single enormous post in preference to many medium-sized posts.

Spell Checker

There is now a spell checking tool available via the tools menu. It's still in BETA, but it should be pretty usable.

Magic Comments Import fetches images

The Magic Comments Import script will now fetch embeded images from the posts its importing (and rewrites the post to display the local version).
