Quick Dev Update

Just a quick post to update everyone on some progress that was made with WriteMaps today. First of all, I was informed of a bug (via Ajaxian comments) where sometimes deleting and then adding the same page would throw an error. This issue has been resolved now - thanks for the tip! Also, a few people had requested that page notes allow line breaks in the text (multi-line notes). This is now implemented as well.

Lastly, I received feedback from several members requesting an option to export an HTML list of a sitemap. Since I am trying to avoid adding features that are not going to be useful, I've decided to allow people to demo this feature on a trial basis before integrating it into the UI. If you're interested in trying it out, grab this bookmarklet : WriteMaps: Export HTML. You can use it any time you have a sitemap open to export your sitemap as a simple unordered list with links. This could be used on your site as a clickable sitemap/directory. I should note that it is currently disabled for Internet Explorer users due to the way IE's rendered markup looks. So if you get a chance to try it out, please let me know if you'd like it in the file menu!
