Thanks to Omar Shahine's great explanation, I was able to get rid of the standard HTML/CSS pages that I had set up for the site. Using dasBlog's FormatPage macro made this simple, as I simply created an HTML page named XXXXX.format.html and the page displayed with the default layout specified in the theme template page. It's very simple, but works perfectly! Now I don't have to worry about maintaining separate CSS stylesheets or keeping multiple templates in sync.

Because of this newfound simplicity (as you can tell, I think this is really going to make my life easier), I should be adding more content and features to the site over the next few weeks.

Just testing a new - at least for me - WYSIWYG blog posting tool, w.bloggar. The interface is nice and simple, and I can post to multiple blogs through a single interface. I can also use the editor offline and then post to the blog whenever I want. And it seems to work well with dasBlog, at least so far. It connected without any problems and grabbed my existing categories. Here's a link to instructions on connecting w.bloggar to dasBlog.

This entry is simply a test of dasBlog's "mail to weblog" feature. This feature allows me to post to my blog by simply sending an email to a predefined address. The picture that you are - hopefully - seeing in this post was attached to the email.

Note: I had to edit the post a bit after it was brought into the blog, as I failed to read the instructions on how to add categories to the blog post. Also, the attached image was appended to the bottom of this post - which makes sense. I, however, wanted it to sit at the top. This is more a limitation of gmail than it is of dasBlog (unless someone can tell me how to add a picture to the text of an email in gmail).
