I was asked to post a bugreport for this one.  But I don't think I know 
enough about the intended function of the GUI to determine what is a 
bug.  Or, more exactly, since I think what I see is definitely a bug, I 
don't see how to describe it as a deviation from a correct behavior, 
since I don't know what the correct behavior is.

I'm running Mozilla 1.3.1 on linux.

I have a web page open.  I use the right-button menu and select "Blog 
This."  The bottom bar opens, displaying a link with the current article.

Here is a first possible bug:

I have two blogs on my pull-down menu.  If I change from the initial 
value, I get put into my other blog, but the link to the web page I 
wanted to blog is lost.

Interestingly, when I close the window and reopen it, the bottom bar has 
remembered the new choice of blog.  So it seems that you have to have 
set the blog you want BEFORE the window opens in order to get the right 
behavior.

Second possible bug:

When I try "blog this" again, the bottom bar opens with the "recent 
posts" pane showing the date of my OLDEST post in the blog (because 
that's the sorting that comes up by default).  I think that this is what 
led to my getting a post with a faulty date on it.

Third (definite) bug:

when I try to post I get the following error:

Now Get5recent posts...Fault!<XML-RPC Fault: (0) java.lang.Exception: 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pyra/blogger/Logger>
Get5recent posts...Fault!<XML-RPC Fault: (0) java.lang.Exception: 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pyra/blogger/Logger>
Edit posts...90456704...Fault![object Object]

NO post appeared.

I'm more than willing to work on filing good bug reports if someone will 
give me some advice.

Thanks!
