In reading over the chat notes, I see again that
someone has lost their sign up url.
One of the first things I ask for help
with when I started
doing something on the Internet was
'organization'.
The information piles up so fast that
there needed to be some kind of system
to keep up with what there...to be
able to put your hands on it without too much trouble.
The response I got was that there is no
system.
Everyone figures it out for themselves.
Well,that's
O.K.....except for newbie's it takes a lot of trial and error with various
methods...meanwhile they are losing their stuff.
That's why I'm exposing my
'system' to you guys.
Maybe it will help.
If not,
ignore it. Nothing lost.

I use notepad for myself...it's clean, flexible,
easy to use.
I started with a folder called 'My Info
Stuff'.
Inside that folder are other folders.
They are labeled
according to the type of information they contain.
There's one labeled
'Resources'.
Inside 'Resources' I file the notepads
appropriate to that file.
One notepad would be labeled, 'Resources I
use'
Another might be labeled, Resources to Investigate.
Now on the note pad, itself, is listed the 'Name of
Resource'
(Something you make up that you will recognize when you see it).
Under the name of the resource,
enter the url to the resource, the
username and password if you had to sign up for it,
date signed up (or
used), where used (part of blog, website, ad-campaign, etc.)
Use the same notepad for the next item...here's what makes it
easy...
List your next item either above or below the present listing,
depending on alphabetical order.
Most of us know the ABC's, so when
I'm looking for PayPal,
I know it's going to be down the list about half way
listed with any other resource beginning with the letter 'P'.
I usually put a dotted line between the individual resources just to
help my vision realize that one listing has ended and another began.
There's no end to the number of folders that can be
created.
