Bookmarks in FeedLand #158
Description
Bookmarks in FeedLand
This feature goes back a long way, to the beginnings of Frontier and Menu Sharing and through Drummer, whose Bookmarks menu is imho a truly revolutionary thing. Here's a screen shot of my current Bookmarks menu in Drummer. You can see I use it a lot. I expect your bookmarks menu will look something like that before too long.
How it works
There are two ways to create a bookmark.
-
When you're looking at a news item in a river timeline, there's a new icon at the bottom, that looks like a bookmark. Click it. A dialog confirms that you want to add the bookmark. Then the Bookmarks editor window opens with the new bookmark added at the top. You can edit the text, and use the outliner reorganizing commands to move it where you want. You can create sub-menus and sub-sub menus. And reorganize it whenever you like. When you're finished, click OK and the menu outline is saved on the server, and the menu is rebuilt with the new bookmark where you put it.
-
If you're at a page in FeedLand that you want to get back to easily, say an interesting person's feed list, choose Add Bookmark at the top of the Bookmarks menu. A dialog confirms you want to add this page to the menu. And the process of editing and placing the bookmark works exactly as it does for when creating a bookmark from a timeline.
The outliner is the same one as in Drummer. For an idea of how to use it see the Outliner howto document.
The usual
Please let me know if it works or doesn't. ;-)
