I like the filenames as they are too, I would just like a way to differentiate filenames associated with page A with similar filenames associated with page B. I don't think a timestamp would do it, but either prefacing the filename with the post ID or creating a whole subdir for that post ID would.

I'll take a look at Rick's methods and see how he approaches it.

Thanks guys!
