I just added a spell checker to BottomFeeder; I should explain how to go about installing it. First off, go here and grab ASpell for the platform you are running on. If it's Windows, follow this link. Next, grab the data and dict directories and copy them into the main BottomFeeder directory. Finally, on Windows, copy all the dll files from ASpell\bin into the main BottomFeeder directory.

Now, you'll need to make sure that you grab the latest dev bits from the upgrade site - make sure to install the latest Blog-Tools, BottomFeeder, and IRC-BottomFeeder-Plugin components. Once that's done, you should get spell checking in TypeLess, the Blog posting Tool, and in the comment tool. Mispelled words will be red with squiggly lines (as in Word) - right clicking on those words will offer a menu of possible replacements. We'll add in an interface for adding words to the dictionary eventually.
