Though at least it did save your work anyway, unlike the way min-data-uk throws the entire entry away if it's untitled.

It has been about 2 weeks since I last blogged</blockquote> That sounds like this is some online confessional rather than a blog! I don't suppose a serious one of those would work though. Not only would it have to be open to anyone to post starter items but it probably ought to be closed for replies to those. Meanwhile, it would certainly attract lots of fakers rather than real penitents. However, something set up as a spoof version all along could be funny. Meanwhile, now that you have more than 1 blog entry, it has become obvious that the layout of the header links isn't good. The title of the entry jams up against the link to the preceding item and isn't really saved from that by being in a larger font. You probably need two lines to place the title below the previous and next links. Or you could add a spacer between the elements and/or centralise the title - which will presumably no longer work well when the title becomes too long for the page width, so that would need to be tested too.

I have failed.
