New Site Feature

An Index To Posts has been added to make it easier to find things on the member site. There are hundreds of posts on the site and more are being added daily. All of these posts have been indexed by title and the index is only a click away:

  It is possible to find information in several other ways as well, e.g.,  Search by content, Search by Tag, etc.
Search for words in content
  On most pages there is a right hand sidebar containing information about the site and functions you can perform. Among the most useful of these is the Tags area which contains a list of all the tags that have been assigned to the Posts and a visual clue as to how many posts are associated with each tag. If, for example, you wanted to see all posts tagged as relating to antenna-work you could click on that tag to retrieve the posts.
List of Tags associated with Posts
  The value of the information contained in the site increases daily. Using this data is only possible if it can be found when needed. In this Post I have shown you three ways to retrieve Posts that may contain the information you seek. These methods depend for their success on your cooperation when you create a Post. First you must title the Post with something relevant to the contents of the Post. Second you should tag the Post before you Publish it. In the right sidebar of the Post Edit screen is an area called Tags which contains all the tags already in use. If one or more of these match the content of your Post choose it(them). If they don’t fit your Post then creat a new tag or tags. Doing these simple things will make it much easier in the future to retrieve the info.

  1. Thanks Ed! That’s a sweet feature! I checked out the index and it’s very easy to use, but as you said it depends on members using a title that accurately reflects the subject matter.

    I find that using tags is an even better way to find information, as there could be several subjects contained in one post, and the tags can identify all of them (when used properly).

  2. Ed,

    I just had a need to use this feature (I think I used it to find the Bylaws). It works great. Thanks for adding it!
