Deja Vous All Over Again – Bookmarks on ActiveRain

 

Flash back to the past….Looking over some of my bookmarks this afternoon, I noticed that there were things that I don’t even remember why I bookmarked them in the first place.

 

Trying to do housekeeping here on the Rain is even harder than at home.  I cleaned up my subscribed to list….now it’s the bookmarks.  Most of them will be gone by tonight.  I am taking the Tammy Lankford route and just copying the address if I want to keep the info and transferring the link to a document.  If the link goes bad, c'est la Vie.

 

Have you checked out what you keep?  It can be an archaelogical dig….and some of mine are going back four years!  Do you think that any of it might be relelvant?  Perhaps, but one blog post at a time is going to take forever…..and I certainly don’t have the patience for all that.

 

If the title doesn’t intrigue me, it will be gone.

 

So, remember, TITLES catch the eye and keep the reader.  Bookmarks??  Who cares?  Titles are everything on the internet and on the Rain.  Keep that in mind the next time you compose a post.

 

One of my better ones was Cooking in the Nude….got a lot of hits even thought it was just the title of the cookbook!

 

 

Have a great week!

I need to do some house cleaning of both types.  I especially need to clean up my desk at work!

I remember when you last wrote about bookmarks. I do need to clean mine up. No time for that now, but I do plan to get to it later.

HI Suzanne, I agree with you it can be difficult to dig through the blogs on AR and yes some of it is no longer relevant.

Hi Suzanne -- I used to bookmark like crazy.  It's a lot less now.  There's only so much time in a day...

Thanks for the suggestion...one day...some day....

Suzanne - I'm one of those folks who bookmarks for later.  I'm also guilty of not having got back to them.  I plan on doing it just as soon as it rains in California, and I have a little more time on my side.

Bookmarks!  Arrgghhh...I forgot all about them and I imagine most of them are long, technical posts describing something I would LIKE to do but actually have no real intention of taking the time to do. Thanks for the reminder.

Good morning Suzanne. You are too funny and I really enjoyed this. I never bookmarked here though, so I on't have that task to look forward to.

Suzanne, 

Excellent point about titles and the title you used! Cleaning up bookmarks is an excellent idea but so time consuming. I started using Evernote and it will copy a blog or anything else and you can tag it so it can be found. Now there will come a time to have to clean up Evernote! Sounds like you folks had a great time on your business journey.

Thanks for all the great comments!  And, the feature on BananaTude was excellent, Bryan, thank you.  I know that having those tags make my life easier, too.  And, the Tammy Lankford suggestion was life-saving.

Suzanne McLaughlin  we have had 100 degree temps in Beverly Hills and not only are the cooks wanting to be nude, but half the visitors to the Restaurants seem to be virtually nude...I have been with clients for the past three days and we have been laughing ...today we were in this BH Italian Restaurant and it looked like all the "housewives of BH" were next to us:))), Endre

Suzanne, I am impressed at how organized that you are, I wish that I could get to that point someday, if I live that long.

I have enough stuff in the real world to clean up, I think I will let my bookmarks continue to gather dust in whatever corner of cyberspace that they are cluttering up.

Have a great day!

Suzanne, I have tons of posts in the Bookmark section and need to thin them out too. Some I keep for reference purposes and others I have no idea.

Bookmarks while it sounds good in theory, I confess, I forget and wouldn't even know where to look without a rollodex or some tickler anymore - now that's dating me! Having a library with featured posts for all of us to access would be more helpful to me.

Good morning Suzanne. For me it is also about the titles. That said I have yet to bookmark.

Hi Suzanne, you've got me intrigued, I haven't thought about bookmarks for a loooong time. Guess I'll go and check up on what's been sitting there for a few years!

Suzanne, my bookmarks are a mess, I wish there was a way to organize them within the AR system.

I agree with you @PAtricia, there is no way I can even find most of what and why I bookmarked what I did!
