#1 Fred,

Ctrl keys are allowing sneak & peek into comment html commands at times.

#2 I like the old way. This has too much flash....better to say something than dick around with making it pretty. I swear that people in the USA spend 50% of their time futzing with the formatting in MS Word.

Could attract a bad element.

It seems that to get the preview to work you have to View Source (and optionally unview source) first. I need to do that after every change.

#3 I was scared by all the funny tools.
The preview hung on me.
It no longer accepts a simple honest italics tag.

You know what I'd like, now that we're making unreasonable
demands? I'd like to be able to put in my website and have it
make a link, like it does when you put in an email address. Maybe
it does that now, but I haven't put in my blog name in ages, because it
wouldn't just hotlink my name, but insisted on spelling out the blog
name, and that uglied up the name field.

Let's see if it still does that.

#4 Yep, still ugly. Preview still hanging too. Still scared by the tools.

Ha ha! I can make my background an eye-gouging green!

Tell me the truth. Does this color make my font look fat?

I take it all back. I can be endlessly irritating with these babies tools

#12 PLEASE get rid of this POS and put comments back the way they were before. Sheesh!!!!!!!

#13 I second, or third...whatever, the request to put comments back the way they were. If people want to jazz things up a bit, they can learn some basic HTML tags. This is annoying!

Yeah, I agree with Mister D. Maybe a super light version?

#15 Okay. I'll put it back. I'll try and find something else to hose today.

#16 Okay. It's back the way it was. That still leaves me with the problem of trying to make the buttons work with Mozilla (and Safari) family browsers.

#17 Gimme that old time religon...

All is well.
And the Cookie Monster isn't beeping.

#20 Will the preview hang?
Will the italics tags be accepted?

Ahhhh.
