According to the MySQL documentation, "Text" and "Blob" columns can't have defaults. Anyone know a way around this? I would simply use isset() in my php script to determine if the user had input a value or not, and write in a default value for them if they hadn't, but there's a whole seperate litany of problems there that I'd rather not deal with if I don't have to.
