I agree with Sameer that people should be informed in advance if there
are known issues. I put a note on the release notes page and a link to

Hi Tarun,
Not sure I fully understand that but it doesn't seem like a critical
issue to me.
The workflow I think we should support if we can is:
- Open write
- Add text and images
- Exit write ("Keep" first or just exit)
- Open Browse
- Click insert image link in EduBlog

Hi Tarun,
I'm OK with client side in this pass.
The only concerns are that the teacher and potentially other students
should have the chance to edit the post. As long as the teacher can pick
it up and review it too, doing the preview off a local file on XO is OK.
