The update page is extremely updates. Here it goes.

1. No more copying image code. Simply click on the image in your list and the code is automatically added to your entry.

2. No more Break tags for paragraphs. Line returns simply show up as types. Just hit enter.

3. To make a link simply type the address and it converts into a link. This has the disadvantage of not allowing you to make an image a link, but I think the speed increase in getting your thoughts and links out faster is worth it. Below is an example

The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal or hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horrot of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were incident of half an hour. But Paul, Terry, Matthew, and Holly were happy and dauntless and sagacious. When their dominions were half depopulated, they summoned to their presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of their court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of their castellated abbeys.
