Thanks Andrew.

FYI - for all - Bill Robertson (http://wfrobertson.com/) pointed out the custom naming feature in the Community Server advanced blog post options ... for those who use the CS control panel to post. In addition, he's talking about creating a CS module to auto-name posts more in line with Jayson's suggestions. No pressure Bill. :)

That's a good suggestion, Kyle. I'll have to try that going forward.

I consider it a feature, btw. Wouldn't want to have the title changing every time I edited. :)

Jayson:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sure the CS team is planning to take another look at URLs moving forward. You have some good ideas ... and I bet they will be taken into account.

Dan:

Yeah - had to throw that in there. :)

Keyvan and I have discussed this before, and I've even pinged the CS team alias...why aren't punctuation/whitespace/words less than 3 letters stripped out of post titles to make a friendlier URL from within CS? i.e. break the title down to a char[] and then loop through it using the various static Is<foo> methods on the char type? Never did get a solid answer on that, but would seem to make more sense...
