yup… lame problem. I have a problem with Firefox as well. With the default WYSIWYG editor, moving images actually copies them. Anyone know a solid desktop blog editor? I’m not writing my blogs with TextMate for sure

Safari 4 Beta…

I had the same problem; I’m just hand-coding the links with the html editor until Apple fixes this. Other than this, I’ve had no other issues with the beta.
