Admin Screenshots
Here are some screenshots of the admin area of the site.
Admin Home Page
The home page lists the same posts as the home page of the site. The pencil icon will take you to an edit post page, the lock icon with hold or publish the selected post (using a gifStream, no page refresh) and the delete icon will ask you if you're sure that's really what you want to do :). Under each post, you can see all the related comments. The block icon next to the IP allows you to ban that particular IP. The edit, hold/publish and delete icons work the same.
Posts
This is the post listing. You can perform a lot of the same actions as the home page, including hold and publishing posts directly from this page. Clicking the pencil icon takes you to the edit post page.
Edit Post
This page is pretty simply. Edit a post, hold/publish it, and view all of the comments. You can hold and publish comments and block/unblock IPs for comments from this page as well (gotta love that gifStream).
The comments and edit comments pages are essentially the same as the posts and edit posts pages. I have most of the user admin stuff done, and the banned IPs section is complete. Still working on options and RSS Config and such.

It's done through an ActiveX control I found some time ago. It uses Microsoft Word's built in spell checker. Not sure where you can find it anymore. I did a search not too long back and couldn't find anything duplicating the functionality without some huge nasty cost attached. Looks like I need to check out Google though :). Follow-up: I checked on the Google APIs and the spell checker will only let you check 10 words at a time, so looks like I'm sticking with my ActiveX :).

cool. does the built-in spell-checker use google's web services? if not, how do you provide that function?
