Something I’m working on to make finding stuff easier

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing

I have been looking at WinCustomize and realize that in the almost 5 years that I have been here I have written so many articles that I really have no idea how many I have done.  One thing is for sure, and that’s it sure is a lot of them! 

It’s cool to see that an article I wrote in 2007 has been viewed about 400,000 times!

If you noticed I linked to the article on JU.  Why?  Well honestly because I couldn’t find it on WC. Open-mouthed smile  Which brings me to my something I have been working on as trying to find articles, guides, etc. on WC can be challenging.  I was trying to think of an easy way to bookmark items that others can view for quick access.  Obviously your browser can bookmark things, but I don’t like to crowd up my browser bookmarks with such things.

I saw that Delicious got a big redesign and one of its new features is Stacks.

This is exactly what I was looking for!  I’m going  to place the most common and useful articles, guides,etc. here so people can easily find and link to them.

What do you think?  Will this help any of you?

I also tried Pinboard, which has a much simpler view - http://pinboard.in/u:islanddog/t:WinCustomize/
