Geek,
The Description field is a VARCHAR(255) which means it is limited to 255 characters. For my purposes when entering HTML tags and text, 255 isn't always enough. I suppose I could change it from VARCHAR(255) to TEXT to permit larger entries. Do you think this is OK to do? I think the main difference between them, other than performance, is that the TEXT data type does not strip trailing spaces, but VARCHAR does. Do you rely on that stripping at all for it to work properly? Do you envision any other problems?
