| This fixed one "bug" that was actually kind of helpful: clicking [editpage] on the home page gave me a complete list of pages I've created. I can still get the list by adding /editpage to the end of the homepage URL. On a related note, here's a minor catch-22 I discovered. Let's say I create a page called tommoody/artwork1999 and forget to make it a slide show page. Once it's created, I can't change the type of page it is. I also can't use the same URL when I make a new slide show page, because the system tells me that URL already exists (even though the old page is in the trash). So I have to call the file /1999art or /artwork99, either of which would be out of sequence with "/artwork1997, /artwork1998, etc" on a file list. I know this sounds minor, but it could result in an awkward list of files. The solution, I guess, is either to be able overwrite URLs or to be able to change a page type after it's created.
Yeah, this is something we touched on the other day. I had originally meant to make some way to empty the trash (which would then mean you could reuse that path) but then I never built that. I guess I have to now.
In the meantime, send me any pages that are in the trash and I will really clear them out for you so you can reuse.
