Well I've got to just rip off a quick post, I have been so busy supporting the DasBlog community that I just about don't blog anymore <sad>.

Anyway I have fairly recently released a new DasBlog theme which I submitted to be included in the next DasBlog release and it failed the FireFox test. Boy was I embarrassed. I had called myself checking it out but I will admit not very closely at least in FireFox.

At any rate I spent untold hours trying to track down the problem, and along come  Justice Gray one of the better DasBlog developer contributors and volunteered to help me out.

He found 99% of the problems in 10 minutes. Apprantley he has and uses all those fancy FireFox development tools. YEAH!!!!!

I got Scott Hanselman to check the theme in this afternoon and by all appearances, the level of activity at Sourceforge we should see DasBlog 1.9 any day now!

Soon I will be hip deep in trying to support the role out and the user community.

Take Care
