An example of being so near and yet so far, is Pimproll... they have gone out of their way to provide options for their galleries, most have descriptions, and there are different ways to get the links, including a downloadable text file.

But within that file, the links are provided in the format:
Gallery 01 code: URL
Gallery 01 description: blah blah
Gallery 01 type: Type

Maybe someone can figure out an easier way than I did to make that info usable. But surely it wouldn't have been any harder for the coder to present the info as a delimited file without all the Gallery 01 stuff, each gallery on a single line?
