Howdy :)

I'm new to this GitHub interface so please forgive me if this has been brought up before, but in Webcomic I use the feature that adds some random characters to the ends of my webcomic page names so folks can't guess at my buffer. I've noticed, though, that as I resave the page or reupload a JPEG replacement for a page that it continues to append yet another series of random characters so that for some of my pages, the actual, real URLs get to be huge, like this:

As I change the Permanlink name manually to something human recognizable, it doesn't really seem to impact my readers much, but at the very least it makes looking at my Webcomic list kind of ugly and at worst it's maybe going to cause some trouble with links down the road?

You had sent out requests for ideas for future improvements and I had forgotten to mention this. As always, I love you plugin to pieces and I really appreciate all your support.

Cheers,

Alex W.
