thanks brother for your help... i'll be waiting 24h for the change to take effect than.
P.S. There's a problem with your blog. I'm using Firefox 3.5.5v and i couldn't post this comment here without pressing tab which will eventually get me to the word verification field so i can enter the characters in the box. Maybe you can fix that... the post footer get's over the field where a person can enter the words verification in the image. (Tip: disable word verification from your blogs settings in dashboard.)
