 * The CCK (content creator) module in Drupal allows custom fields to have default
   values, as well as an optional text description that can appear below each custom
   field. This description field is good for giving end-users data-entry guildelines.
   I would like to see similar features in your plugin — I’m getting pressure from
   clients do more complex sites in WordPress, sites that I would otherwise do in
   Drupal. Thanks!

 * Default values for custom fields would be cool. I don’t have an immediate need
   for this feature, but I can tell my client is heading in that direction with 
   future projects.

 * What I’ve come up with is creating a template file named asset-page.php, then
   creating a blank Page and setting the template for that page to asset-page.php.
   The URL to view all the Assets is simply the URL for the empty page.
 * This gives me what I want, but I’m wondering if this is the “WordPress Way” to
   handle this? Thanks!

 * Many thanks! It will be a day or two before I can install and test it. I’ll let
   you know how it goes…

 * If you detect a blank field, is it possible to issue an HTTP redirect to the 
   edit page before writing the content to the database? The challenge would be 
   to redirect to the edit page while preserving the data in completed fields.
