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=

editor!

Yes, This happens when use were use Wordpress editor to post, Because wp ed=
itor uses line=20
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 d=
evelopment is=20
frozen now, This could be a good replacement for it :)

Thanks,
