When I try to install this, I get a message the the URL does not link to a valid workflow. This workflow sounds very handy; am I doing something incorrectly?

Hi SWeise, You should click the Install Workflow button and it should work if you are using version 1.2 of Editorial.
Please note that this is a workflow for a template, not a regular workflow, so you should install the workflow, set the included if blocks as presets (with the arrow down button and Save Action as Preset) and then in the file menu, create new template and fill in the presets you took from the workflow. A bit crafty, but unfortunately there is no way to share templates as templates currently.
