Thus the JavaScript cleaning that took place during that operation is no longer there. In the tutorial I added an ad-hoc way of cleaning the name that addressed only the 2 issues I had while testing my code. It's definitely not optimal, which is why I asked feedback from the community. Sergiu might know more about this change since he also wrote the blog article creation page to use such a way of coding (call the same page and pass it parameters).
