6. How do I find mine and others posts?

On the right side bar, you’ll see a link/button to del.icio.us.

Contributors/Categories

On a regular basis, I will file everyone’s posts by category*, author name and, if they are part of a series of posts or a recurring theme**, by additional key words. For example, the introduction and FAQ posts are filed under “Ender”, “AboutUs” and "FAQ". Once you learn to navigate del.icio.us, you’ll be able to use it to generate a list of posts by author, category or theme.

*For ease and familiarity, I’m going to use Slate’s categories: Arts & Life, News & Politics, Travel & Food, Business, Sports, Technology, About Us.

**Examples of possible series/themes:

-Traffic Report [Date] would be filed under “wagtheslate” (author), “About Us” (category), “Traffic Report” (catagory).
-doodahman’s MTC’s would be filed under “doodahman” (author), “Arts & Life” (category), “MTC” (series).
-If a group decided to hold a Breakfast Table discussion it would be filed under “[author name]” (author), “News & Politics” (category), “Breakfast Table” (series).
