Submitted patch for Pebble 1.9

To save precious GRPS dial-up time and bandwidth from my cellphone I would like to be able to use the w.bloggar blog client to post to my blogs ia the metaWebLog API (Pebble supports both the metaWebLog and Blogger API via xmlrpc). This is mainly for my personal blog (in Danish) where I keep my training diary.

The issue I was having was a strange one that only appeared when hosting multiple blogs in the same instance. The issue was that national characters being escaped to HTML entities wasn’t displayed correctly on the multi-blog aggreate screen.

The solution was to fix the way the content was truncated before being displayed. I used the Jakarta Commons Lang to unescape the entities instead of the home-rolled solution.

Full details and a patch can be found as PEB-279 in the Pebble JIRA.
