Re: Some notes about unicode...

The locale issue was recently reported as a bug, but I wasn't able to
reproduce it.  Your observations on that issue are hugely useful--that
explains a lot of things.

In regards to the blog_description issue, can you submit a bug report
along with the traceback so that someone can track it down?

If you have any other problems, please submit bug reports for those as
well.  That helps us fix things and increases the quality for
PyBlosxom.

Thanks!  Good luck with your new blog!
