with the town list growing you might want to add an extra list box to select towns by county.
another thought to avoid adding towns with empty content you could add a suggest a town slot so when you have a willing contributor on line let them add a town and then add an entry for that town

note for black knight the spell check icon in the editor is not showing in the flock browser ?

Wink town list is growning!

I will think about the idea of adding a box to let the user choose their county and then select the town, it would make it easier for the user.
I also plan to do something with an interactive map to help with navigation - watch this space.

Regarding, allowing users to add towns. There are a number of things that I need to do in the backend to add a town (setup google map API, setup Yahoo! weather API, add town title, description and meta keywords). I would not be willing to let a member of the public do this, but I take the point that I should allow users to "Suggest a town" and then if I think it warrants it I will add it in.
I think the list of towns will be finite so adding in towns is not something that I will always have to do.

next feedback ... its annoying when I'm adding a thing (for what of a better word) ... that I have to select the location of said thing ... maybe a bit of code that defaults to my home town would be in order.

The majority of people will only be adding items for their own town .. and you already know in my case its galway due to my registration details ?
