I use the "blog this" feature quite a bit. I like the idea, but it has been difficult for me to use.
With the wysiwyg feature I find it challenging to insert more space so that I can add content after the title. I like to explain that what falls below the title is clippings from the original article. Without any explanation it seems that it would be confusing for my readers. To add the space I have to go into the "source". After I hit the "source" button again to go back to the wysiwyg view I find that the bullets at the beginning of each clipping are gone.

I'm assuming that you want to use open source, but if you were going to use a commercial version I have used ewebedit pro from Ektron quite a bit--seems to work well.
But, it looks like FCKeditor is not a bad choice either, are you running the latest version (2.4.3)?
Thanks for looking into this--much appreciated,

Here's an issue that has come up today for me while trying to use the blog this feature on Firefox 2.0.0.6 / Mac OS X Pulling up the contextual menu on a page and clicking on blog this results in this "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found" I was able to correct it by logging out and back in, it worked once but now the error is back. I also noticed that two of my five blogs enabled showed "invalid" clicking on edit corrected that back to "valid". Something's happening here but I don't know what it is......
Here's a follow-up on the problem. Just after posting the previous comment, I was trying again and the correct page opened up. Thought I was home free. After preparing the post and clicking on "post" I got the page not found error again. Annoying, as I just wasted another half hour of work!!
Also, it would be great if in this forum posts jpg's could be inserted to show you screen shots with error texts and such.

To add the space I have to go into the "source". After I hit the "source" button again to go back to the wysiwyg view I find that the bullets at the beginning of each clipping are gone.

It has a listing of many wysiwyg editors.
I'm assuming that you want to use open source, but if you were going to use a commercial version I have used ewebedit pro from Ektron quite a bit--seems to work well.

Pulling up the contextual menu on a page and clicking on blog this results in this
"Sorry, the page you requested can not be found"
