Hot on the heels of my post yesterday about a free bookmarklet to let you flag splogs on Blogger's Blogspot which have hidden the navbar or flag and which don't get picked up by the Magical Sheep Greasemonkey Blogspot Navbar Restorer script, I'm pleased to be able to tell you that Kirk has stepped in yet again to improve and enhance it.

The favelet now finds the offending spam blog's Blogger blog ID for you automatically in most cases, and fills it in the popup. Just hit OK to flag the splog with Blogger. But even if it can't find the blog ID, you can still search for it via view source and fill it in manually.

Details are in my previous post, which I've now updated.
