The "Web Log" field in Profile is too short, the address to my blog doesn't fit.

WORKAROUND:
Make a tinyurl for it?

WORKAROUND2:
declare default.aspx as a default document so you can shorten your blog URL to http://slapdev.com/blogs/an_mcsd_from_wisconsin/
Just checked, this should work - it's 48 characters, maxlength is 50 for blog field (default length of a SQL Server varchar column)

WORKAROUND3:
lower the font size in your browser (sorry, the BOFH in me couldn't resist)

default.aspx is set as the default document, I'm using Community Server for my site, so the folder 'an_mcsd_from_wisconsin' doesn't actually exists so it needs to have the 'default.aspx' after it so that the request gets passed to ASP.NET instead of just getting a 404 error.

I guess I'll have to do something to make a shorter url. Unless, of course they make the field longer.
