Nanoblogger Entries with %base_url%

Ok, here’s the test of using base_url (surrounded by “%” as in the title) in nanoblogger to ensure relative links are resolved correctly.:

It works!

The problem was this: relative links for images posted to my blog were broken in the archives of the the published version. This method of specifying links allows me to continue to use relative links and ensure the url in the archives remains correct where-ever my blog happens to love. Special thanks to Terry, Kevin and Haul on the nanoblogger list for convincing me that this was the right thing to do. I stubbornly was not sure.
