 * After creating a draft and coming back to edit it later, I cannot seem to be 
   able to delete it with the “Delete This Post” link.

 * Hi Welsper
    This definitely works for me. What happens exactly? Do you get the
   JavaScript popup? If so, what happens when you click OK? Mike

 * Here’s what I think happened. My post was titled “showin’ some luv” and it was
   changed to “showin\’ some luv” when I first saved. This breaks the JS that does
   the popup button.
    I changed the title to just “showin some luv” and it deleted.
   I created another post with ‘ in it, and it failed.
