Displaying 1000's of links in Revo

Howdy All,
I've got site that needs to list a couple thousand links along with a date and a description, maybe 25 or 50 links at a time. I have them in an XLS right now, what's the best way to get modx to display them?

That's a lot of links.

I would create a table in the database for them, and a CMP to manage them. I would display them with an AJAX paging application.

Susan's idea is great if they will need a fair amount of management, but it would entail a lot of work. If you want to continue to manage them in a spreadsheet program, I think you could write a custom snippet to get them from the XLS file (or from an exported CSV file) and wrap the snippet with getPage to display them in the front end.

Ah, sorry... XLS. My eyes have been giving me a lot of trouble lately, and I saw that as XML!

LOL - So did I at first. I had to rewrite my post.
