  Unless there’s something I’ve missed. . .
  
  In the manager it would be useful if you could delete more than one page at a time. It’s frustrating after I’ve created 40 test blog entries, to have to go back through deleting them one-by-one.

  Yes, you’ve missed something:
  
  Modules -> DocManager -> last tab ("other properties") -> select delete/undelete, enter the id-numbers (or range of ids) and hit submit
  
  :-)
  

  
  Wow. Who new that making feature requests would unearth such wild features unbeknown to my humble self.

  Though I’m sure your average client wouldn’t be able to operate such a complex mechanism of deleting. It would be good if there was a little delete button which brought up a menu similar to that of keywords, in which you could delete freely, beyond the constraints of a powerful and overbearing CMS.

  That might not be such a great idea, I would think that deleting should be a major undertaking, so the "average" client has to think about what he’s doing. The first time you got a panicky call that someone deleted a whole section of their site you’d probably find yourself in agreement.

  i’m going to disagree...clients who blog need to be able to delete more than one page at a time and do it fast.

  You can do it with Batcher (component) in Revo. Select your items which should be deleted, then go to actions and mark as deleted.
