Version

There are two versions of this hack:

• one that works with the current, buggy version of Beta, and
• one that is more elegant but does not work due to a Blogger Beta bug.

Even if you're only using one of the hacks, you should probably read both of them to get the whole picture.

Platform

Works in Blogger Beta blogs.
