Leo,

I'm so sorry to here this.  I'd like to work on the problem, but I'll
need some idea of what you were doing when working on it.

I assume this wasn't caused by the behavior of C-c C-k that you
mentioned before?  If that was the problem, there is an easy fix that
I've already applied, but wanted to have more changes before making a full
release.

Look for, and comment out the line that looks like this:

    (define-key map "\C-c\C-k" 'weblogger-delete-entry)

Another way I've seen that problem caused is when weblogger.el “does too
much” during weblogger-next-entry and weblogger-prev-entry.

I need to do more work on tracking that particular bug down, but I think
it can be solved with the following patch:

--- weblogger.el        2010-03-11 06:53:33 +0000
+++ weblogger.el        2010-03-21 03:08:18 +0000

   (unless weblogger-entry-list

If you've run into this problem some other way, then please let me know
so I can work on tracking it down.

Mark.
