We have a new feature here, it is at the top of the page called My Pages.

This is even handier than My Bookmarks.

Click on My Pages, it is at the top of the page underneath The Quilting Board-The Quilter's Message Board title.

Type in what you want the title of this page to be, and then click on create. It is that simple :D:D:D

You can start a page titled: Applique
then copy and paste links from here to that page. Type in a description next to the url (don't forget to leave a space between the url and the description) :D

Label other pages: Stack and Whack, Scrappy, Tips, Tutorials, Recipes, etc...

This may be an easier way to find your information, rather than going through long lists of titles in your My Bookmarks section.
Especially when many topic titles here don't fully describe the quilt or subject :wink:


For those who don't know how to copy and paste the url instead of clicking on bookmark:

At the top of your screen, look for the url (it will start with http://)
When you are on a page that you want to copy the link/url find this and right click it, then click copy.

Then go to your My Page and the click on the page you want to add it to.
Then click on Edit Page
Then hit enter on your keyboard
Then right click your mouse and click on paste
The full, clickable url will appear
You can then type in a description next to it. Ex: Scrappy Batik Quilt, Triple Threat Chocolate Cake, Beautiful Bargello, Tips for FMQ Quilting, etc.. Don't forget to leave a space or two between the url and your description :D

You can go back and edit these pages whenever, however you want :D:D:D

Thank you Amma! Never thought to use it that way. Now I can really keep things together!

amma 11-14-2010 03:12 PM

You are all welcome :D:D:D

If you want to share links with someone here? You can refer them to one or more of your pages.
Have them go to your profile page or send them a link to it, click on the tab (list) next to My Pages there, and they will be able to see all of your pages.

Great idea.

Thanks for explaining that so well. I'm not real computer literate but I understood your explanation. This is a great idea.

PS: Thanks Admin!!

butterflywing 11-14-2010 03:41 PM

if you're in the mood to give instruction, how can i clean out everything in the "my topics" list that appears on my own page?

Rebecca VLQ 11-14-2010 03:45 PM

Woo hoo!

EasyPeezy 11-14-2010 03:49 PM

Cool. Thanks Amma. :D

SLHughes 11-14-2010 04:29 PM

thimblebug6000 11-14-2010 06:05 PM

Sorry, don't see what you say I should be seeing...not bookmarking this...

SherriB 11-14-2010 08:04 PM

Thank you!! And thank you to Admin!!!!

plainjane 11-14-2010 09:26 PM

I have been using mine. It IS better at organizing all of the valuable info posted here, like marking folders and filing info. Bookmarks are o.k., but I have to read through my notes and hope somethings rings a bell. :)

This is just a suggestion instead of using the bookmarking feature here :D:D:D

amma 11-15-2010 06:16 PM

You are all very welcome :D:D:D

SueN 11-16-2010 08:37 AM

Thanks. I have so many bookmarks that it is hard to find the one I want

Evie 11-16-2010 06:03 PM

Amma, your instructions are great and I would love to try this feature. However, when I right click on the tab there is no "copy" on the menu. What am I doing wrong?

amma 11-16-2010 07:14 PM
