I wrote one of the first extensions for this, but kind of dropped it as I was in Central America for a month and have yet to pick it up again. For me at least, centralized assets are much better. I don't want to have to hunt through each page to find a photo. The bucket idea seems like the

Nothing ready for public consumption just yet ... though I am hoping to have it ready soon (next week or so, if my free time holds up). On Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:12:05 -0700, Keith Bingman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wrote one of the first extensions for this, but kind of dropped it > as I w
