When I asked about "plucking" a site from one page but presenting another page as the "starting" page, my reasoning was that I could speed up the spidering process (or at least I -thought- I could). If I create one page with a direct link to every page in the site an tell Plucker to grab that with a setting of 2 and not have to worry about Plucker marking dozens of other pages for d/l, only to find out it had already done so. However, a giant list of links is unwieldy for navigation on the Palm, so I'd rather have a small TOC page.

The real world example is my side project... I run a website consisting of video game codes (cough cough), and I've been using Plucker to allow easy access to the entire site in a portable form. The problem is that every page of my site contains a menu bar featuring links to dozens of other pages, each with dozens of links... if I could have Plucker start spidering JUST at the "main index page" and have it only grab that page and all linked pages, it would save time when in the "Plucking" process.

Oh, if you want an idea of what the site looks like, head to http://codebook.potchgult.com/vgindex.htm . When using Plucker, I use a local version of the site with a greatly reduced "front page" (just the "navigation bar" on top).
