idea dump for the island grid template
Island name = given an island name, make a layout of it. Island name = given an island name, make a grid out of it.

The thoughts in my head are more about whether it's going to be easier to pass an Island name... then I thought... DUH. we can pass to the thing and make it very easy on the front end for the islands. As in IslandPageTemplate.

Then ... well, making 5000 pages is relatively dumb easy, once the template does its thing.

And the template... basically a big however, I'm trying to figure out display info... probably doesn't have to be too bad. Probably likely to be pure html for the grid based upon the name. That wouldn't be horrible, because it'd be generated by database before listed (noinclude) in the templated.

Use Excel to do it quickly: =CONCATENATE(C1,E1,G1,I1) to munge them altogether so it's perhaps easier to copy/paste
 * 1) copy a table
 * 2) paste it into notepad (clears cruft)
 * 3) copy the notepad stuff
 * 4) paste into excel
 * 5) INSERT columns after values
 * 6) use this formula (adjust B1 appropriately):  =CONCATENATE("|", TEXT(VALUE(B1),"#,###")," |") 
 * 7) copy the formula where you need the list
 * 8) if you want, you can also use something lower on the spreadsheet like:

This looks complicated, but if you do it this way, you save LOADS of time.
