    Shaun, I'm hoping to find some time to play with Articles soon. But before I do, can you tell me to what extent articles in Articles are able to be retrieved like normal resources.. Do they appear in SimpleSearch results? Can you manipulate them using GetResources? Can you edit them using NewsPublisher? etc etc.

    Yes, yes, yes. They are just Resources that are extended. The only caveat is that they have 'hidemenu' (Hide from Menus) checked (to prevent you from getting a massive menu with a blog with 10k+ posts). So as long as you ensure whatever Snippet you're using searches Resources with showHidden=1 or such, you'll be fine.

      Great news - I was praying this was how you'd done it.
