Either way, it's fixed and attached as v1.0.2.  Thanks for the feedback!

Ahhh... now I see what you're saying, and I agree.  Consistency is
very important!

I think it would be pretty easy to make the *preview* use the same
form, but editing will be more difficult.  I think it would involve a
new action, something like "?action=editentry" for the "edit this blog
entry" link.  I'll have to think about it more...

I'm glad you like it!  Feedback like this helps me figure out what
people want out of a blog.  Let me know if there's anything else,
