Import and Export to Google Spreadsheets

There is a new phpLD Mod that allows you to Import and Export to Google Spreadsheets. I'm really having fun with it. I've been able to clean up the titles and descriptions on a directory of about 800 links in just a couple of hours of work. It is a nice feeling knowing that there are few if any junky titles or descriptions on your directory.

The next thing we will be working on for this mod is making it easy to enter lots of new links to your directory quickly. Basically, you would just add title, description and url, and also add a category. Then run the import.

For adding a category, you have to use the correct structure with a colon as the separator like this:
Computers : Internet : Scripts : Directory Scripts
Then the link will be automatically inserted into phpLD with the correct category.

It works really smooth already and I hope you will try it.
