In the end I decided to change the blog theme. The previous one was kinda old and I kept having to hack it; besides, it didn’t have support for the new features present in WordPress 2.7. This new theme is a bit more clear and clean, I only had to edit it a little bit. Slight changes in the CSS style and the header image. I used a small part from a wallpaper I made some time ago, when I had time to play with Photoshop. I hope that in the near future I will be able to dust off my Wacom tablet ;-) If someone is interested, the wallpaper is below:

If there are any issues I missed with the theme, please let me know. Thanks!
The RSS feed should work once more, sorry for the inconvenience
I have finally upgraded to WordPress 2.7. It seems to be mostly ok but I still have to verify all plugins, see which ones are obsolete, which ones I have to re-hack, etc.
[Later edit]
It seems the Language Switcher plugin messes up with the RSS feed URL, what a mess. No solution as of yet.
I found another blogging client, a Firefox add-on Scribefire. Which is kinda nice since I always have Firefox opened anyway.
Later edit: Hmm, not so great afterall. The image uploading does not work.
I finally managed to get it working with the Language Switcher plugin. When I write the post I just use special tags to enclose english and romanian sections. It works, it’s just that it looks a bit weird in the visual editor, the tags are seen in the text. Oh well ..
For blogging on the desktop PC, I mapped some of the function keys on my G15 keyboard to the opening and closing tags so I can write posts faster. On the laptop, I guess I have to add some buttons on the visual editor toolbar.
This is getting ridiculous. I have tried countless of WordPress plugins which were supposed to let me have a post in multiple languages but for the life of me, I can’t make it work. I’ve been fighting with xlanguage for couple of hours no but with no luck. :evil:
I guess I’ll just do what Freya said and let it go for a while, will try again later. Meanwhile, a cup of Tetley tea will do nicely.
Eventually I decided to use WordPress on my own webspace. It installed realy quick, I needed a lot more time to select a theme. Still not sure about this one, but I can always change it later I guess.
I am just looking now through what WordPress can do :)
