Go to your home page and click on "NewLink" in your sidebar.

Should open a form with three fields:

MenuTitle

LinkTitle

LinkUrl

Enter a title for your first menu like, Links or Media or Bookmarks or whatever kind of links you'd like to enter.

Then enter a short title of a website, then the url.

Click "Add" and it should add the item to the sidebar and redraw that section.

Continue adding links as you wish. To start a new menu, just enter a new menu title.


Don't have an edit routine in yet, so watch carefully for typos before you click add. Will try to get the edit program done tomorrow.

RE: New Pages
Subtitle: Look before you leap too far.

Playing around with creating a new page, jacked a pic in there to begin with thinking it would be the first, like a header for the page.
In a fit of "woohoo!" jacked some others in there, assuming for some reason they would display BELOW the previous one.
No so, not so. Now my little timeline I had in my head (see my hunting page) is turning out backwards.
Be there a way to re-order these posts? Or is it just a case of "pay more attention, humblegunner!"?

Jim Robinson:
Yup. Each page acts as a little mini-forum. Each new post goes in at the top. I do have a place where you can add some code that stays at the top, but don;'t have it linked in yet. Check the banner and text at the top of my Vietnam page for example. Also the text on the main MyFRpage home page, the about page and help page. Coming soon to a page near you. Also have plans for "Stickie" posts, but haven't coded any of that yet.

Reorder is in the planning stages. On the wish list.

Jim Robinson:
Also in the planning stage is control on who can post and what can be posted to your page. If you want a static page that only you can post to posts to, we'll be able to do it. Then it would be called a "Blog" page. And it can be comment enabled by post... or not.

Well, I suppose I could delete the whole mess, then go through my pix from recent to oldest instead of oldest first.
At any rate, I've learned something.
Telling pictorial stories oldest-to-newest was likely not on the development goal list and something a user should work out on his own.
A page-header option might be useful though for sure.

Which reminds me, I also want to put a little control on the top of each page that controls viewing order. The default is latest post first (descending order). But that can be toggled so that the oldest page is displayed first (after any stickies of course). A similar control will be like on FR where we have the brevity toggle, headers only or text and with an additional "Titles only" selection..

Jim Robinson:
No need to delete them. Hang on. You will eventually have more page ordering options.

Jim Robinson:
Also in the plans are "Albums."
02/12/2013 11:58:38 PST ·
humblegunner:
Albums seems more like what I was shooting for. Ordered a certain way.
I was thinking of documenting that particular hunting lease from beginning to end, where other folks could
post pix or stories corresponding to whatever chunk of it they were looking at.
But that's just me, it may be set up in a perfectly wizard way for others applications.

Hey, I like where you put a "preferred sites" menu on your page. You gonna have a "blog roll?"
02/12/2013 12:21:20 PST ·
humblegunner:
Doubtful.
Almost every blog I ever had interaction with wants to see me dead.
02/12/2013 12:27:25 PST ·
Jim Robinson:
LOL

There are, however, a group of blogs that have had eloquent and verbose and tearful things to say about me that I might find it amusing to showcase.
I wonder if I could link to specific posts thereon to present such a grouping.
Nah.. that's too much like spiking the football and doing a funky dance.
Take the high road, Johnny,,,

hmmmm... a bit of a bug here somewhere while listing latest comments.

No, guess it's ok. Cornfused operator again.
