iBlog 2, or, the perils of upgrading your software before your mind. 

Okay, my font has transformed into Georgia. Or Times New Roman. I am too tired to page through the CSS files that I don't understand. My basic HTML knowledge cannot cope with semi-colons and { }. Please bear with me while I attempt to redecorate my blog, all forty-three of you dear readers.

Unlike iBlog 1, the new version doesn't let me use the "insert" function to add images. I checked the source code and discovered the code only refers to the image name, and not to a full image address. If I use the "media" button, and drag images into the entry window, the program automatically resizes the image and makes it a progressive jpeg. The results are not always to my liking. 

I can't find a way to change an entry's category within the entry window itself, unlike before. Now I have to select the category first, then select "new entry." 

I don't know what the pluses are yet, except I've already paid for this upgrade. Ah, another P990 experience. I wish my charges to experience wouldn't pile up this way.
