Whether he's gonna find time to fix is another issue. i was enthusiatic about e-blog a year ago. It worked for plain text blog, but doesn't work if your blog is slightly complicated html. Since i need to use full html, so i stopped using e-blog. I simply use the dedicated browser these days. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
