Cool. I presume the SmartTag knows about the asset type so presents  
it in an appropriate way? Then all we need do is expand the types to  
add audio, video, YouTube link etc.


As Verdon said, maybe just let users format the image by wrapping it  
in a div. If they've got a wysiwyg editor, even , the old js one,  
then it's easy enough.

Now it just needs an easy upload facility for getting the image into  
a users personal filecabinet at the time the user is writing the blog  
entry.
