It’s working fine, Steve!
We need only latest version of file mod and blog or the same mod.

Yes–believe me, I have crashed and burned many an installation playing with the trunk.

I need to say that the feature does not work yet! This is in SVN because it is under development. So, unless you are experimenting with SVN on a test rig (not a production set up) please don’t go looking for this as you will be disappointed at this stage.

I don’t know what the issue is. All I can tell you is that I have it functioning on one of my test installs. It works with both Mac Safari and FF3

Nothing. Only Title, Blog text, Tags and Access. I tried with TinyMCE and without it.
I checked also blog/actions/edit.php and I can’t find any field for embed media.

Okay–I think I get what you mean.

Go grab the blog mod (or any other) from

https://code.elgg.org/extensions/plugins/

upload to mod directory and activate.

I made fresh install from a trunk also, but this installation pack without blog mod.
