Hey folks, I just bumped the version from beta-1 to the current svn snapshot, we're back on the bleeding edge :-) For you, of course, this means nothing but pure configuration pleasure again.
If you weren't able to use the "Configuration" item of the "Administration" section in your blog, I can assure you that this limitation should no longer prevent you from doing nice things like adjusting your blog's headline, time offset (to match your local timezone), and so on.
