Re: Patch for simple walk caching

Will,

I'll have to take a closer look at the static rendering to see how all
this works. Is it documented anywhere? I don't have shell access to my
server, so as far as I knew before this email, all I could do with
static rendering was render my site on my local machine and upload it
via ftp to my server.

Peace
