    DotNetGallery and Crawlers/Spiders

      A BIG issue with DotNetGallery is that the descriptions and comments are stored in a ".config" file which is something IIS doesn't allow public access to (it would be REAL BAD if it did as anyone could download your web.config with your database info!!). 
     
    The problem is that web crawlers or spiders can't see the data in these files.  Since the only way that DotNetGallery allows a description and/or comments to be entered for each image, these comments can never be indexed by the search engines.
     
    Is there any way to get around this?
