PowerBlogs.Com Development

Cleaning Up
Cleaning up is proceeding. The everything now consistently uses the term "sidebar" to refer to the things which go on the side of a blog, including the themes.

Themes.powerblogs.com now can install to a blog even if you haven't logged in previously. (Corollary: a bug involving not keeping the CGI parameters has also been squashed.)

The post editing code is now abstracted into the module so that writing posts and editing them uses the same code and has the same features. I also added an IMG button that automatically includes the /files/ prefix to help people not forget it.

Adding help to pages is coming along, and probably about 40% done.

Previewing posts now uses the post template, so bloggers will be able to see exactly what their post will look like, minus the stylesheet actually being applies to their posts. I'm still not convinced that this is a good idea, but I'll go with it for now since I'm also not convinced that the alternative is a good idea either.
