Description
Currently, the style does not import into WLW when configuring the Blog in WLW. This prevents using the Web Layout Mode for WLW.
Creating a post in Normal mode works fine.
This feature should be able to pull in the layout mode based on the sidebars that are installed. Even when using WLW in Drupal 5, it wouldn't pull the actual layout.

This is how WLW attempts to detect the style:
It creates a temporary post with unique identifiers in it. Then it gets the front page of the Site and looks for the unique identifiers for the title and the body of the post. It then deletes, or attempts to delete the temporary post. If the page for the blog that you give it does not contain the blog posts this will fail.
If the front page of your site is 'node' I have had style detection work. If you give it as your blog 'http://www.example.com/node' this should also work.
