I don't know if mklist will work or not.

I can submit pages and then they get approved by the site admins.  (I'm kinda
site admin for the mac stuff--please don't boo and hiss at me for not doing
much...!)

I can add links or make changes (that have to be approved--so they take a bit of

If anyone wants anything posted to the Mac side, just let me know.
