Hi again,

Just a couple of suggestions for future versions of the module. I am intending to use this module for news and updates for my site. There are many modules around with a lot of overlapping functionality and it is a long task to assess each one and then try and bend it into shape. I'm currently favoring your blog module after spending much time with others such as Gooddogs and NukeNews, both of which are very good, but have their own particular issues.

My initial suggestions are:
Add a tick-box somewhere that says: "Ignore images when generating a summary". This obviously would remove images from automatically generated summaries... leaving plain text.

And this is more involved:
In the new entry page, change "Upload options" to something like "Action link function" and then add a third option of 'Select a URL' to the current options of uploading an image or a file.

The way this would be presented to the reader is that the blog entry would have an action link that changes depending on what the action is e.g. View for an image, Download for a file, or Visit for a URL.

Those three actions, viewing an image/video, downloading a file, visiting a URL.. pretty much cover most blogging needs.

The URL's should of course be selectable from either internal or external links or pages of course.

Keep up the great work,
Rob
