you know i really should pay more attention, blogger has added a whole bunch of new features to the free accounts (things only pro used to have) about 2 months ago and i just caught on to it....oh boy is trollie observant....i can now ping weblogs automatically which saves me from trying to remember....and spell check....it's been sitting on the tool bar and i didn't notice...and it's not like i don't need it....also i've reset the archive to monthly, after almost a year of blogging the archive list was getting a bit long with the weekly setting...oh and one really funny discovery...the blogger spell checker doesn't recognize the word "blogger"....now that's funny....it suggests flogging as a replacement for blogging.....they apparently got the spell check from an S&M site
