Craig: I love this as I often do searches (less than optimal) for ideas on posts or for improved ways to present my material.  Your method is MUCH quicker and more efficient.

BTW...I am officially a Rainer now!  My photo has appeared in one of your posts.  HA. ;-)

Seems like I did see this all those years back; thanks for sharing - bookmarked and suggested.

That is a really cool find!  It's similar to the navigation links in the normal "Blogs" page but with a little more detail.  Very useful!

Thanks for your little "secret".  I have already found it useful.

Shazam that is so very cool, I wonder what other secret AR pages there are......

kind of like being in the Twilight Zone ..................

Hi Craig - Thanks for bringing that to our attention - we all love secrets, but that's also  very interesting and useful.

Featured in  BananaTude!

Nice secret ! I use the search field but it often brings back odd posts ! This makes good sense, and will bookmark. Thanks for sharing ~ !!!

Hi Craig - thanks for the navigation tip and will put it to good use. Regards Dave

Craig, Craig, CRAIG, you are such a consummate TEACHER! You are like our Mr. Rogers Neighborhood for ActiveRain! Quiet, always pleasant, easygoing, but you always have a clear message that helps make our world a better place!

*Bookmarking*!

 

You had me at 'secret'. You know, I stumbled on this once a long time ago and tried to figure out how to do  it later and couldn't get there. Thanks for letting me know what I had done! 

Wow, I can't believe I didn't know about that page. I've bookmarked for future use.

Craig, Another search tip and I don't remember if you or someone else posted it, but if you remember the blogger that did something, type "their name:  keyword" to narrow the search down.  I use it regularly on our own posts when I can't remember when I did a post.  Helps a lot.

Clever, Craig - thanks for the tour! Definitely bookmarked this one.

This is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this!! Have already tried it out.

Craig, That's close, but I just use the AR search bar with the name: subject technique.

i wish we could sort by geographic location

if we can, i cannot find it

 

Thanks for the details when it comes to this post. Wow--make it happen

Very cool, Craig.  Thanks for sharing.  That will make searching specific topics so much easier.  I just checked it, and it's great.

Thanks for sharing that secret. I promise to not tell too many people

This is such great information.  Thanks for the tip..

Craig- as always, you share useful and valuable information with us and show us how to use it.  Many thanks!!!

Craig...

I remember using this a while back ... but glad to knopw that it is still around if you know how to get there!

Who knew, a secret page?  Thanks for the heads up!  I'll be sure to check it out. 

Well, well, well, a secret page.  I can't thank you enough for sharing this time saving tip.

Once again Craig, you show us the way to navigate around the Rain. This is a keeper.

Hi Craig, I love secret pages , especially when you share them and they are no longer a secret. :-)

Ah-ha!  You've cleared up the mystery as I had no idea why we categorize our posts and then can't seem to search that way.  As always, thanks for your great posts!

Amazing that there is still so much to learn here on Active Rain...had NO clue that I could search for posts that way...Wow.

Craig - You come up with the coolest stuff sometimes.  Thank you for finding the orphan.

Craig:  This is cool.  Everybody (I am guessing) likes to find out secrets, and this is surely an Active Rain secret.  Thanks so much.  You really ARE part ferret, aren't you?  And, that's a good thing.

Craig - thanks for sharing this secret.  I had no idea http://activerain.com/blogs  existed.

Craig, another question... while I am at it:  As I type this comment, I see the Picasa icon to the left.  Is there any way of transferring all of the pictures I have on Picasa on a computer I no longer use... to either an external hard drive, a memory stick, or maybe even to the computer I am currently using.

The only way I know of... is to get into the Picasa file of the older computer, and email pictures... one by one... to myself, and then open them... which puts them into my current computer.  Any ideas?  I thank you in advance for your help.

Craig....yep....you are always full of incredible information! I've not visited your blog in awhile...I can only imagine what OTHER secrets I'm missing!

Thank you for the time saving tip. It is all about the info.

I wondered what ever happened to that page...it is helpful...thanks for pointing me i the right direction.

 

I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks!

Love that we can filter to get exactly what we want to read. Great tip Craig.

Craig, if you know that secrest and it was a good one, do you know a way to sift more specifically through the groups?  I would like to see any with the word "land" in them. 

That was a lot of work Craig. Great tip, Thanks!

Very useful information.  Thanks so much for sharing.

Sure it's a great find, Craig. I am trying to remember when and how I used this - I do remember using it, though.

GREAT Information ... Thanks for sharing!

Craig thanks for sharing, I will have to give it a test run.

Reblogged on the spot with this caption! Now this is really interesting. Set aside some time to start searching the orphan tool. I hope the developers get this fixed soon! Meanwhile, what a cool way to do some neat searches with lots of interesting twists.

An interesting way to surf for good ideas of what to blog Craig.. thanks for the info!!

I recently did a google search, the link sent me to this page. I thought it was cool and very useful to see the kind of posts that were in each area.

Thanks for the top secret peek Craig.

very cool, I will check it out and bookmark it...perhaps it will not be a secret for very long!!! Send us more secrets!!

Craig - Thx so much for sharing.  I wasn't aware of this. You really know the inner workings here.  Thx.

I went, I saw and I conquered.  To a point.  How do you bookmark the page?  It's easy enough to remember the url though.

Craig, thank you for letting the secret out of the bag.

Way to go Craig

Thanks Craig.  For both using my page and the valuable information.

Thanks for putting this together Craig! Looks like a helpful way to gather info, I'll try it out!

How coo Craig, thanks as always for bringing those lightbulb moments to the forefront for us...will re-blog!

Thank you for the information. I will check out the site for some tips.

I'm bookmarking this post for future reference. .thank you Craig. .you always share the best tips!

Craig, thank you for poi ting this out, I will try it later today! Just when you think you have it all figured out....

That is a well kept secret that I will use more in the future. Thank you for bringing it to light.

Great informatin Craig.  I'm going over there to check it out right now.  Thanks for sharing!                                                    

Hi Craig, Thanks for telling us about this. It sounds like a  valuable source for blogging inspiration. 

Craig, a great way to find a blog in a hurry without going through the normal search button. Thanks for the info.

Craig, I love your posts!!!  I have been off AR for awhile but am determined to read and write blogs on a regular basis again!!! This was a great one...everyone loves a good secret!

Take care, Betsy

I can't believe I've never visited this page.

 

thanks!

Thanks, Craig, for letting us know about this "secret" page.  I've always hated AR's "search" feature ever since they changed it to the "Google Custom Search" because whenever I used it, it didn't allow me to find things easily as I had been able to prior to the change.  This will make it much easier when searching for AR posts!

Craig, This is certainly great news for those us who want to do some research on other topics. Bookmarked!

Craig I totally forgot about this over time.....thanks! Great idea when looking for new and different ideas from other bloggers.

Craig, I think I knew that once....but not here that much anymore. Thanks! Very good! ;-)

Craig the title grabbed me as usual and I too had forgotten that I used to search this way!  Thanks sooo much for the reminder and another great post!

I love secret stuff! This does make finding posts on a specific topic much easier, it's on my bookmark list now, thanks!

Thanks Craig! I will made good use of this information and visit the page often.

Great search feature and interesting that the blogs follow the blog roll when new posts are published.  I hope the general public finds the search feature handy!!

Thank you for sharing Craig! Had no idea.

I'm with Carla, hope the public is using this feature too.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Nothing like a "secret" that's right under your nose-thanks for sharing!

Very cool Craig!  I have it bookmarked on both my browsers!  Thanks for sharing.

I too think I knew this once and it became hidden in the AD VEGETATION that now covers ActiveRain....thank you for the reminder!

Well now that is news.  You let the cat out of the bag on this one.  If I had to guess who could snoop out a secret like this, it would be you Craig.

Interesting! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing :)

Have a great week!

~ Vienna

Thanks for the secret link Craig, I look forward to hours of digging through the pages.

Let me just add one more..."thank you"! What a great link! I've used it already!

Craig, when you said "orphan" I thought you meant posts that no one had commented on...and I guess this link could be used for that.  Certainly much quicker to scroll through these pages.  I will bookmark and stand ever amazed at the things I learn from you!

Thanks Graig. I'm trying to learn more and more about AR so anything that makes life easier is good. Also, the title is a great attention getter.

What an interesting find, Craig. I wondered how the person who run the Daily Drip/Drop (Bob Stewart) gathered together posts about one topic like that. Now I know. Thank you.

Craig-You've probably forgotten more about this stuff than I can figure out in a week. I like your illustrations. Very easy to follow. Thanks.

Craig, you are always good for something new.  I am glad I subscribe to your blog.  Thanks.

Blogs is on my AR menu between Groups and Contests.  Maybe it's been put there in the past month?

Craig - This is one of those tricks I really should bookmark so that I can remember it.

Thanks for the handy tip, Craig.

Subscribe!

Hi Craig,

Hmmm, secret paths? Good to know about. You definitely piqued my interest with that title!
