Re: Dynamic views disregard images for odd reasons

Thanks for posting this! I'm sorry I didn't see it, somehow, until now. 
I'll have to try this and see if the images, specified in this way, are 
respected by Blogger for dynamic views.

Do you know if all these size specification formats in the URL are 
documented anywhere? By Googling I also discovered "s0" to use the default 
size, which may be best for my needs.
