Less than ideal

IDoBlog Free
I had high hopes for this component as it installed easily and was looking to be a solid simple blog component. After playing with it a bit I selected my preferred template and started to tweak it to suit my site. After getting into the code I see lots of style embedded in the code - but that's just the beginning. The code is messy and that makes it hard to work on. While cleaning up the code, I've found a number of bugs that would have otherwise been impossible to discover.

It would be nice if a failed captcha would preserve the user's post for a second attempt instead of throwing it all away. This seems to be partially complete but it's a fundamental thing that will drive users away. The ability to save new comments for Moderator approval would be good too.

I know it sounds like I'm being harsh but as a professional developer, I'd prefer fewer features and a cleaner implementation!
