How to Find a Subject

Hi Dave.

In the beginning didn't you have the title of each post in the left column? I might be remembering wrong, but I thought it would be nice for people to look at all the post titles and immediately get to something that interests them rather than scrolling through all of the posts. I certainly don't mean that is a criticism. I can't even imagine how you set up this blog! But I have noticed when I am looking for something I might have read a week or two ago, sometimes it is hard for me to find it.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
The posts were not on the left of the main BLOG page, however they are so available on another page as follows;

From the main BLOG page, click "sign in" or "customize" at the upper right.

Then click "dashboard" also at the upper right.

Then click manage: "posts" in the dashboard dialog box.

You will now be at a page with all Post titles listed chronologically from latest to earliest. They are listed 100 per page, back to Day 1 / Post 1.

Another option is , on the main BLOG page, go to "EDIT" at the upper left; click on "EDIT" and on the Drop-Down menu, Click on "Find on this page"
If you plug in the right keyword in the dialog box, you will be taken directly to the Post you want.

Dave

Well done Dave! I just tried the first method and it was terrific. I was able to see all post titles. I am going to play around with all these options this evening. One question though, once I found the subject I was looking for - I wasn't sure how to post a comment from that location.
Thanks again.
Chris

Hi Chrisj,

When you are on the Manage: Posts page; click on the "view" button to the left of the line.

This will open the Post and all of the comments.

At the bottom of the page you are given the opportunity to add comments.

I have yet another pathway - Click on the misshapen B in the orange box top left, it will take you to Dashboard/ (cog symbol) Manage posts/
I like this condensed list that can be sorted by topics on left.
I saved this page as A FAVORITE (BOOKMARK).
To post a comment click View and scroll down to end as usual for orange ‘post’.

Thanks Dave and Elaine. I have been playing around with these options and have found them most helpful!
Now, I will end this comment with Elaine's witty line...

Right on Elaine!!
