But it works here as well as Bilbo from git!
Blogilo uses KBlog directly! So you have to update your KBlog from trunk to test it!
I have backport may latest changes on fixes into KBlog recently!

That was a way to edit media files properties due we didn't find any way to access them from 
editor!

Yes, This happens when use were use Wordpress editor to post, Because wp editor uses line 
break instead of html "br" and "p" tags!
I have added an option for this on advanced page of configs to tell blogilo to change \n to br
And maybe we have to use another way for this!

This would be a good feature for later :)

We have plan for this!

Oh, help on this problem, I didn't find any doc about having such a toolbar on techbase :(

We were try to do this before, but there was some problems that we have to check again!

Yes, You two are right. My reason is not a good point :D
BTW, Because there was a plan for PIM to have a blog client, and KBlogger development is 
frozen now, This could be a good replacement for it :)

Thanks,
