Is there auto save when writing messages too? I've lost so many long messages.

Hello guys,
I'm a french virber and i have many problems with the blog or video comments ..let's me explain
In french we use so many accents but when we write a word with a accent in comment, the comment posted just containt the start of the post till the first accentued letter !!
It's a huge problem because in french accent means a lot for the words comprehension and each time i wrote one my post is cut !!
Please correct it because i really loved your plateform and it's really amazing the work you done for making us enjoy !! It's just sounds like an Apple way of definiting blog skills !!
Thanks a lot
Anthony a french Virber who make a lot of friends coming onto our plateform !!

Now, If there was just some way to control how blog posts are displayed on the blog homepage. Also, being able to put blog posts in categories would be awesome.

still doesn't work. ::sigh::

Hey gang- In regards to the auto-save feature not working, we're looking into it. Should be back up shortly. Sorry!!
posted by Brad on June 25, 2007 at 1:22pm
That sounds great!!

Just to let you all know… if you're having trouble finding your drafts after they have been auto-saved it's probably because you don't have any "saved" or "published" blogs yet. We are working on a fix for this – but as soon as you "publish" or "save" a blog all of your drafts will show up. Thanks for being patient!!

Excellent! I loved it when Google added Auto-Save to Gmail. This is by far one of the best features you've added since the launch. Now I don't have to worry about the power going out while I'm in the midst of blogging and losing all my work lol. Thanks!

Hey It would be really cool to import more than just one external blog. Is that in the works? Also does the current blog system support rss syndication?
