Drupal (the blog software that runs this site) is really crappy.

List of basic things you cannot do in Drupal:
1. Spell check a blog entry before it's posted.
2. Save an entry and work on it later.
3. Easily post a picture or image within a story.
4. Format text in a post without using html code.
5. Insert hyperlinks in a story without using html code.
6. WYSIWYG post editing.

All of this is available in Blogger, as well as the ability to post by email, post by mobile, post by carrier pigeon, etc.

Am I missing something, or should this site be migrated to Blogger? Can someone please tell me what I am missing about Drupal? Can I have a "Hell Yeah!"?

Apparently, Rep. Dennis Rehberg’s chief of staff didn’t appreciate our post describing him as Denny’s Mini Me. That post, which continues to get hits every day, can be found here. Or, you can click here.

Although he tried to hide his identity as “the red elephant,” nice handle BTW, Erik Iverson sent a little missile to the Big Sky Democrats e-mail account calling the Mini Me slap “childish,” among other things. He was readably hot in his note, like someone had just stolen his parking spot. That’s understandable because THE TRUTH HURTS.There's more

There are two blogs up that are well worth a quick read:

First, The Last Best Place features an eloquent write-up on Monica Lindeen and her focus on ethics in Washington.

Also, Left in the West’s Matt Singer highlights a scary, scary situation brewing in Billings: Al Garver for Mayor.
