A forum TR definitely is quicker to make. But your work doesn't become part of the SP database in that case, nicely embedded into a range/area/etc.
Nattford and yall other folks who want to help with the code/programming, understand that the bulk uploader was a stay-up-all-night feverishly-excited-because-I'm-going-to-help-the-SP-community deal, and boy did I get a splash of cold water. I was even told that Josh would under no circumstances want such a tool to exist. (Not that anyone asked him.) So if you make tools don't expect to work "hand in hand" with the elf community. That's just the truth.
People have been asking for modern features like RSS feeds and getting nowhere for years. Finally a member cobbled together the RSS thing on his own.
I love the site, I love making TRs and pages. But I wouldn't do it if I couldn't build tools to automate drudgework. So Chief, I'm just sayin that there are a lot of people who want to or wanted to help make creating content easier and they are consistently rebuffed. Dingus' rant has some justification.
Anyway, happy Saturday. I just got back from an awesome ski tour in the Stubai. If I can stay awake I'll make a page for it.
