Like many other bloggers, I waited with bated breath for the release of Performancing Firefox 1.1, the latest version of the Firefox extension that allows you to blog from within your browser on any page you happen to be on. For me, the main thing that has kept me from using PFF is that it adds some form of blank space in front of both the post titles, and the first paragraph in the body. Strangely, this odd formatting does not show up on the blog’s main page, but it does show up in the RSS feed.
Well, although 1.1 was mainly a bug fix release, this particular bug does not appear to be fixed. Oh well.

Please note: I've moved my active blogging over to a new site, called Jason Clarke - Infinite Bass Line. I will leave this site up indefinitely, but if you're interested in my latest posts please consider visiting the new site.

I had interesting formatting when entering text using this plugin and a Movable Type blog. I “solved” it by entering my post in the HTML section of the plugin. Extra spaces were removed and the formatting was exactly as though I entered in through the MT GUI.
Another option would be to see if turning off a “convert line breaks” type flag for posts would help. Your blog software may be adding extra spaces when the entry saves because of hidden line breaks.
