  1. Include photos

    Could you include some information about what photos (and other media) appear on the site? The alt tag and a link to see it would be nice and worth the price.

          • So... is this thing dead or something?

            This tool is really cool and promising, but I haven't seen much happen with it, I'm a little afraid that it may be dead. Comment?

            • redirections

              A functionality to check for redirections would be useful.

                • Full site download ability

                  Firstly; it would be great if the CSV download gave you a whole site or if you could select a part of a site through a folder reference.
                  SEO wise would be good if you could have onpage factors listed other than page title; H1, meta description, meta keywords, on page text ratio to code, #of links with a link to open a separate file of all links into the page both external and internal.

                    • Datamicroformat recognition

                      Pull metadata from on-page data formats like WP author (and make that page owner?), publish dates, etc.
                      Same thing for microformats. Parsing microformats found on the page could provide a lot of metadata.

                      • Exclusion of select content

                        The ability to specify exclusion or limitation of content – for example, exclude */tags/* – would be nice.

                          Make a .txt document from all the text pages, to form a master document for the rewrite. At the moment it's all cut and paste from each individual page.

                                  • Cluster sets of pages by URL string / content

                                    It would be awesome if the service could visualise my site, and cluster sets of related content together. Initially, that could just be by looking at the site arcitecture, but it would be awesome if it could also search the content of pages and make educated guesses based on that.
