Pondering Pistol Pete's Pix Playlists

Regarding Mindful's creating playlists of PoliNation's Pistol Pete's Pix

Hey, Mindful, nice gesture but is there anyway a page can be set up for Pete to be his own? I know it is not your intention, but with your gravatar and your page, The Pete-isms look like they are from Mindful. Also, is conversation getting stifled or not being seen as people begin to go directly there to see the Daily? It is handy but I got thinking when I wanted to reference a vid I had seen in the Grudge but did not want to have scroll through the rest of the days posts to get find it, and just googled to get straight to your place. I realize I was encouraging about this but now that I got thinking and seeing Pete’s creativity may not be recognized to non-Polinators, I got all thinky on it. Again, I know the intention is one of friendship and undermining.

Had thoughts of my own along those lines, Hoot.

I make the playlists for myself, originally to download, and post a link to it here since others might (and apparently do) find 'em handy.

I always credit the playlists' raison d'être. A Pix page link's visible on every playlist page. With playlists, not much else can be done.

I made the playlists to download the vids more easily, but I've taken to watching them online. (Single YouTube vid pages won't play right on my computer, but as playlists they will; go figure!) Pete's picks and his sequence have fans at our house!

Ideally, in that world where we all had endless time and bountiful technical expertise, Pete could build his own playlists on the PoliNation YouTube account. I know exactly what kind of hassle that can be, though!

A single embedded playlist cuts down on "overhead" on a webpage, which might make a diff to some users. But Pete's comments are not available in a playlist. Well, at least, not without making something like little vids to put between each vid, like silent movie cards with Pete's comments on them. Believe me, I've thought about it.
