Project Idea
Blogger does not support spell checking on the Mac (I don't understand why, since the service they use does support IE on the Macintosh). So, I've been looking into writing a web spell checker on my own and integrating it into Movable Type. That way I'd have all the power that MT provides (and BloggerPro is supposedly working on, but who knows when and if) and I'd be more in control.
I don't think it would be all that hard to do. I know I can use aspell from within a CGI or PHP to do the hard part. The rest is a great excuse to learn JavaScript programming.

Looks neat, but I don't particularly care for the WBOSS interface. The popup menus break the flow of the document and it doesn't recognise HTML tags (although I'm sure the script could be tweaked to do that).
My spell checkwer works great on the latest IE and Navigator/Mozilla (both Windows and Mac), but not on Opera and older browsers :-(
