Still a couple problems with the comments. I would like to support certain HTML tags, so I need to enable HTML but find a plugin or some such that strips the HTML I don't want folks to use. Also, when previewing a post, it shows the p tags around the paragraphs. I need to figure what I did wrong in the template such that that occurs. Hmm.
Yesterday I finally made a normal enough post to see that my Python blo.gs pinger script works. It takes a weblogs.com-style weblogUpdates.ping XML-RPC and forwards it to ping.blo.gs. If the weblog URL matches the one given in the file, though, it upgrades it to a weblogUpdates.extendedPing, which can take an rssUrl parameter.
So by disabling MT's blo.gs ping and pinging this CGI instead, I can send a blo.gs ping with my RSS URL. I'll post it here or somewhere after I clean up the code.
And my call to the support forum for the search problem still isn't resolved.
