Blog EntryMay 3, '08 3:36 AM
for everyone

Inspired by Primary

When asked how I created the Table of Contents, I replied with the following:

.

Making a Table of Contents is easier than it appears.

Just use the normal Y360 tool for creating a blog page (Compose Blog Entry), you don't have to enter anything yet, and then save the new blog page with the title "Table of Contents".

Y360 will dump you back at the My Blog page.

Click the "List View" option at the top.

All of your blog pages will appear as highlighted links.

The blog page you just created (Table of Contents) will appear at the top as highlighted text.

Create a new browser window. This will allow you to jump back and forth easily between your open Table of Contents in edit mode, and the open "list view" in the other window.

Use your cursor and select, one at a time, each of your blog page links, the highlighted text, then press Ctrl-c to copy. Switch over to your Table of Contents and point where you want to paste your copied blog page link. Then press Ctrl-v to drop the link into your Table of Contents.

Repeat transferring the link list to your newly organized link list (Table of Contents).

Create headings for grouping your blog page links.

And where you want to, you can list the same link multiple times. Like if you had a heading for New Years, and another heading for Chicago, you might put a link in both places for a party you went to in Chicago on New Years eve.

Save the blog page labeled Table of Contents.

Now copy the link to your Table of Contents blog page and post it in your Blog Blast.

Now everyone will be able to find the content that interests them by quickly scanning down your Table of Contents; and pages that are a year old will be browsed through as though you published them yesterday.

A Table of Contents provides for a living blog, it grows with time. It is not limited to the last couple of blog pages.

I hope that helped. Let me know if you need any clarification.
