But I'm having a bit of trouble. I have the plugin installed and activated on my WP blog running 2.8. When I try to enter a WP backp key, the form just refreshes and removes the key I entered (but leaves my LSB email). It gives no indication there was a problem, or that it actually saved it. When I try and add my blog to LSB I get an error: "Your email and plugin key should coincide with credentials from ls-backup plugin settings page of your blog. Please correct." I have tried this from Safari 4 and FF 3.5, both on the Mac. And as a product suggestion, it is not clear at all that a key should be CREATED in the WP plugin and I could enter anything I wanted. Many services create a key for you (and email etc) and have you paste the key, which is what I was trying to figure out until I happen to find this page (which is not linked from plugin btw). Just make it clear that the user needs to create the key. Great idea overall and especially the WP integration. But I’m having a bit of trouble.
