Here's the status update from the change log:

First, tonight's push includes a new selection under the "In Beta" area 
of the Control Panel, which allows you to provide your own custom HTML
for the body of all pages on your site. Next, we've addressed some bugs
that have been reported concerning the editor (sorry folks, looks like
we were wrong about it being a cookies issue). Info sections have also 
had a bug fixed.

A couple words on the update. The "Full Page Custom HTML" option under the "In Beta" section of the Control Panel -- when used in conjunction with either the point-and-click tools or a full set up of custom html for content boxes and a custom stylesheet -- pretty much makes it possible to have any kind of layout you like.

Next, the editor image inserter icon is there, and I've made a couple code changes that should help with the other problem people are reporting (the editor not letting you type unless you first hit "HTML" at the bottom and then switch back via "Design." Since we haven't been able to reproduce it, it'd be great if someone could let us know for sure whether that's fixed.

Oh and Guppy -- I'm still looking at the spaces getting removed problem.  Sandy was able to reproduce it by pasting from Word directly into the editor window, without using the Insert from Word icon on the toolbar.  Is that your experience, too?

Thanks!

Yes, by either today or tomorrow we'll have it added.
