I guess the best way for me to explain my problem is for you to see it I am at SaVvmari.com.  When you see my home page where the blog is you will see that I have a text/html module above the blog just so that the blog pic can be seen.  The pick is in the blog but you can't see it until the blog is selected. 

I was just wondering why the latest blog entry couldn't be left open.  And the older blogs selected if someone wanted to see them. 

This is also in relation to the blog is there a Auto-subscribe Bookmarklets for our blog a way that you can drag the link to your link toolbar and whenever you visit a site that you want to add to your news aggregator of choice, click your "Subscribe" button on your link toolbar, and it will try to find the site's RSS feed and auto-subscribe you?  If that possible I would like to know how.  It would be great for those who want to RSS  to my blog!

The summary just chops off a section of the html from the main post.

Have the blog summary generated automatically and make sure you insert your image at the very start of the post. You can float the image to the right from there to make it look better. This will show the image in your summary list. It will even display in rss feeds from the module - I can see pics from blog module posts in the stock Vista sidebar rss gadget.

How do I insert the pic?  There is not a way to upload it from there.

You insert the picture into the blog post, not the summary. You have to go into the blog settings and tick the box that makes the module create the summary automatically. It does this by cutting a section of your blog post off. That section will include your picture. You should also set the number of characters that it cuts off to perhaps 300-600 to allow room for the image.

I'm not sure what the exact name of the setting is, because I have changed all the labels in my version. You'll find it in the settings... From memory it was even misleadingly called something like "force description" or similar. If unticked, then it will aurto-create the "description" by which it means the summary.

It doesn't work.  This is what I did.  I went to Most recent blog entries > Blog Module Options > Limit Blog Summary (I set to 0) >  Limit Search Summary ( I set to 0) > Limit width ( I set to 0)  Still nothing, nada, ziltch.
