I spent all of a minute integrating the TinyMCE WYSIWYG html editor with the administration templates for adding/editing blog entries. Just experimenting with making the editing experience easier and more friendly.

To install/try:

1. Download TinyMCE. Unzip and copy the jscripts/ folder into your blojsom installation directory.
2. Download the editor templates. Extract the .ZIP file in your blog's templates/ directory. Example: /WEB-INF/default/templates.

That's it. After installing, you should see something similar to what's in this image.

You don't even need to restart blojsom. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Safari ... yet. As a side note, this also illustrates your ability to override any of the blojsom adminstration templates on a per-blog basis

A few notes on these areas for the next release of blojsom.

RSS enclosure support: You can now provide explicit values for an RSS enclosure that you're attaching to an entry. This would be useful if your enclosure is not hosted on the same machine as your blog. If you only provide a URL to the enclosure, blojsom will figure out the appropriate values for the length and content type.

Uploading themes: You can now upload a .ZIP file containing a theme for blojsom. After uploading the theme, it will be available to all of the blogs on your system to use. As a side note, this plugin was developed taking advantage of the dynamic interface capabilities in the administration console. Once you install the plugin, it makes the file upload form available from the administration page where you switch themes.

File upload support: If you upload a file through the administration console, you now get a link you can copy and use when adding an entry that references the upload.
