USER'S PAGES & how to use them to save info to readily access it.
Oh great, I have been calling them ‘my pages’ but really it’s called USER’S PAGES (list). So, in order for you to see how I have done mine, open up my profile and then go down and click on LIST next to USER’S PAGES on my profile. Each topic listed is a separate page. Each time you want to add to your page, you click EDIT PAGE at the top of that page after clicking on the page.
I usually type in a short blurb to remind me what is in the web address I am going to save, then make a colon, hit the space bar twice and then right click on the mouse and click edit/paste of whatever I am saving.
When you go back to look up information, you only need to click on the title of a topic and then you can click on the URL of the page you want to open. For instance on my USER’S PAGES if you click on Vintage Sewing Machines page and then click on the URL in blue for Attachments & how to use them, it will open up that page on the Internet.
That might be clear as mud. Then, when I want to look up my info or look up info someone has saved on their USER’S PAGES, it is readily available. Please let me know if you need me to explain better than I have done.
Well, you lost me at edit....so let's just say I want to save a page on VSMS. When I bookmark it I find I get the whole 1100 and some pages. So if I find a page I want to save, where do I find edit page? And is it a right click on the page?
I hate showing my stupidity this way!! I can usually find my way around computers once I'm shown, but to do things on my own is scary!!!
No questions are stupid... isn't that the motto of this shop? Yup, I am pretty sure it is. I have found that it helps if you open the VSMS two times. That way you can read the directions here and work on your 'User Pages' on the other one. In fact, I have started leaving an open site of VSMS so I can access my profile more easily to save info. Especially concerning Vintage Machines you want to be able to save and access a lot of important info. And, yes, you can save a particular page of VSMS. Just make sure you write a blurb as to what that info is, hit colon, two spaces and then right click/save your URL of that specific page.
OK, create a page in your 'User's Pages'.
Type in the info you want on that page. Go to the bottom of that page where it says 'Save" and click it.
Next time you want to save something to that particular page, you open up User's Pages, click on the title of the page you want to save items to and at the top it will say 'Edit Page'. That means you want to open it so you can add info. If you don't click 'Edit Page' you won't be able to add anything to it. Then, you always hit save once you have put your info on that page.
Something I just noticed, which I think is very weird... Last night in My Profile it was saying 'User's Pages', now this morning it is saying 'My Pages'. I don't understand why that is but I know I checked it out several times last night because I thought in the past it was saying 'My Pages'. Oh well. They are one and the same. Whew!
You, or anyone, can look at the 'My Pages' on My Profile but only I can edit/add/delete anything on it.
Please let me know if you have any more questions. It is worth working through so you can take advantage of using this feature. Much more convenient that Bookmarking.
:-D
