Sadhbh February reading summary - with links

you have two ways to make it easier .... when you are creating your summary in your own private doc, create two docs ... the first is as you normally do it, just a text list ... in the second, after each text detail of the book, beneath it copy and paste the book review URL for later use

.... at the end of the month, copy and paste your "text" summary in to the "comment" section of a blog entry   .... open your other summary that contains the URL's ... copy the first URL  .... go back to the "comment" section of the summary you are creating, and highlight the book title, while that is highlighted click on the "linK' icon in the editing tool bar, it's the icon second in from the right ... a small pop up opens, paste in the book review URL that you copied earlier, select "open in a new window" and click submit

repeat the above for all your books .....

or you can use two or more open windows and do the links as you make your summary ... simply copy and paste your text summary and then in the second window go to each book review to retrieve their URL, and then using the highlight method and the "link" icon create your link to the review

this is a tremendous amount of work, no matter how you do it .... esp. for the volume that you are creating

you know we ALL have a summary of sorts on our Profiles .. it's an easy matter of clicking on a "friends" icon on our own Profiles to open the friends page, and then clicking on "more" under "Most Recent Blog Entries" ... this brings up all this person's entries including the book reviews .... that's pretty much what we had on the old site  ... and don't forget about the Tags, not just to access the Teams but to access other information

this site isn't so bad once you find the easiest ways to find what matters to you .... I use six basic methods .. Favourites & Recent Posts, the Tags (for Team action),  the Book Challenge reviews, Blogs (click on blogs, then under Most Recent Blogs, click on more), and Forums (click on see all Forum discussions)   ... usually these five will show me what I want to see without missing very much activity ... then if I'm still curious and have time on my hands, I'll click on "my friends" and see what they've been up to that I might have missed

it's so important to mark discussions and blogs to your favourites ... this makes it easier to see if someone has responded to you .... once the discussion becomes inactive just remove it from your favourites

Sadhbh if you don't mind the extra work that's great ... I just wouldn't want you to put yourself out for a summary only a few may use when they can access this information from your Profile page or from the Dream Team tag
