Blogging in Plain Text.

This is an attempt to write just plain text into a blog to see how it appears. The problem is multiple paragraphs... can blogs appear as intended without using HTML tags? This very blog entry demonstrates the problem. It is difficult to write blogs when over 35% of your typing incorporates HTML tags! While the use of Style Sheets may simplify the blog entry process to some degree, it's still too cumbersome to enter long HTML tags just to satisfy the encapsulating HTML source text set up by your server. If blogs could be entered without even one HTML tag, then that would be good enough for mobile blogging without resorting to a dedicated editor for the purpose (http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/).

The above is supposed to appear as three paragraphs, but since I must write HTML in my posts (using Blogger's post editor), it appears as only one paragraph. And links need to be explicily written, too; URLs are not magically detected and made as hyperlinks.
