    Yep – modified the “Link This” bookmarklet along the lines you suggest, and it mostly works now – some problems on finishing the routine – but adds the link as expected.

    Link Library is a much more complicated thing, unfortunately.

    Interesting… I also am at hostgator, having just moved my blog, and several functions no longer work that used to work at my prior location, including Press This, as well as Link Library and Link This. Unfortunately, I don’t even know where to find the javascript for Press This.

    Any help would be appreciated. Did you ever discuss any of this with Hostgator – or is that just a coincidence?

    Oh well – might as chime in. Export files suddenly dropped form 10 MB to ca 300Kb. On version 2.9.2, btw. I’ve found a few threads with this problem. No solution yet.

    I don’t usually adopt the latest upgrades until they’re “official.”

    It’s not a big deal, obviously, if it’s not an easy fix (or fixable at all), though I think a cautionary note of some kind might save people time. Best – don’t know if it’s doable – might be if it detected the version in use and grayed out the option if pre-2.9. Anyway, it’s far too useful – really, one of the best plug-ins I’ve installed – to be declared “only compatible with 2.9” just over this minor feature.

    I presume you mean just the post (rather than the entire page!). It looks obvious that the /div tag interferes with the blockquote tag.

    The Development Version doesn’t fix the problem: It leaves a thin gray highlight the width of a blockquote (probably leftover from the blockquote full format under this stylesheet) where the blockquote should begin, otherwise removes blockquote formatting.

    You mean from the editor, right – under the HTML tab? It affected all posts. Here’s the most recent one, which, as you can see, consists almost entirely of a blockquote in two paragraphs:

    <blockquote>The Iranian regime has been very clever in its development of a nuclear weapons program. Using a horizontal model where they first lined up all the necessary "ingredients" for advanced nuclear weapons --heavy water plants, experimental reactors, plutonium refining plants and uranium enrichment facilities -- means that they can shoot directly for a thermonuclear device instead of toying around with a Fat Man or Little Boy like we did in the 1940s.

    That’s all. It affected a single-paragraph blockquote as well (I say that because there was another plug-in I stopped using because it screwed up all blockquotes after first one by inserting a closing tag via Java on all paragraphs, screwing up multi-paragraph bqs).

    Looks very interesting, but I’m reluctant to apply it my blog without a better idea of what it might do – screenshots, examples, something.

    I’ve tried following the instructions at the different-address page, but they are unclear – in particular the step on changing the wp-config file. We’re instructed to fill in our db details in wp-config-sample and save it as wp-config, but why should the db details be any different (if we’re keeping the same db, and the only change we’re making is to move the blog address)? If I follow the instructions literally, I’m merely re-saving the identical file. In any event, when I follow the instructions, I get a fatal error on line 2 message – and get the same message when I tried, just on a guess, putting the new wp-config file in the same folder as the new index.php file. Am eager to get this ironed out. I’m reluctant to try the second method – not least because I don’t understand why it SHOULD work – but may try it soon.
