The only place I could see the weblog extension available for download
was here :

http://extensions.openoffice.org/fr/project/sun-weblog-publisher

Now, as the original poster mentioned, this is the Sun weblog extension,
i.e. originally built and provided by Sun when it was running the OOo
development. So, unless the ownership has somehow been transferred to
someone else, how is it likely that Sun are going to be interested in
fixing something which they no longer support ?

One look at the comments on the page above indicates that the extension
has a long history of incomplete or faulty functionality. There is no
reason to assume that any one will be fixing anything anytime soon,
unless, as I indicated, the people over at AOO have decided to take over
responsibility for the extension (which doesn't seem to be the case from
what I have read in past exchanges on the AOO list). It is therefore
unlikely that this extension is going to get fixed over there.

Now, if the original poster got the extension via their Linux
distributor, then it is up to the distro to fix it (or not, as the case
may be, depending on their interest in it).
