I think the very things you told me to do in this email under the heading: 'Forming a new List' (or something!)
−
It seemed that the page led you to info on creating a list, but then only spoke of editing it. So, the creation part seemed to be missing.
−
−
Also, point out that the list is edited by clicking on the tab at the top. It is small and easy to miss.
−
−
The idea that the list is generated through the tags and then available to edit is where I was hung up.
−
−
Also, how do I become an official ListKeeper? I am wondering if the site tags that I changed because they were totally off will just anger the owner! I am not a nit-pick, but a couple of sites on the list(s) were way off base, so I took off the tags.
−
I guess I am expecting some retaliation - lol!
−
−
Anyway, I appreciate the work you are doing!
−

−
Yay Tara!
−
−
What would we need to have said on the ListKeeping page that would have helped you out?
−
−
Best, Mark
−
−
Eureka!
−
Now I see what you want me to do!
−
Not to criticize, but that List Keeper page needs a little more info!
−
−
Thank you!!

Hi Tara,
−
−
Go to any website page on AboutUs that fits in your list. Add the tag, which is at the bottom of the page.
−
−
Click on that tag after you have saved it. That takes you to a list page where you can edit the title and description.
−
−
Let me know if that makes sense or not :-)
−
−
Best, Mark
−
−
−
Well, yes, but then, how do I 'create' a tag or actually name the list?
−
Are they automatically created when I type them in at the bottom of my own site listing?
−
And if so, how is the name/title of the list created?

Hi Tara! :-)

Excited that you want to create your own list.
−
−
We hope that this page (which is like an index) helps people figure out lists:
−
−
http://www.aboutus.org/ListKeeping
−
−
But that doesn't sound like it did :-( sorry!
−
−
Basically - lists are created by tags.
−
−
the two lists in the homeopathic search were:
−
−
http://www.aboutus.org/list/allergies
−
−
and
−
−
http://www.aboutus.org/list/healing
−
−
so if you see the pattern, the tag at the end of the list, then you can check homeopathic
−
−
http://www.aboutus.org/list/homeopathic
−
−
There are 947 websites on that list - so you may want to 'clean' the list up, or start your own list.
−
−
You would do that by coming up with a fairly unique tag. HomeopathicProducts has 19 websites to start:
−
−
http://www.aboutus.org/list/homeopathicproducts
−
−
So you remove sites from the list by removing that particular tag and you add them to the list by adding that particular tag.
−
−
Changes usually are pretty quick, but can take a little time to show. Let me know if it takes more than 24 hours for a change to appear for you.
−
−
Does this make any sense?
−
−
Best, Mark
−
−
Yes! Actually, I think the 'no results' was on a previous try for something else.
−
−
Anyway, neither of those lists are for or about homeopathy ro homeopathic products. So, I'd like to make a new list.
−
I may even want to do additional lists for other things I'm keen on, but I don't see how to proceed.
−
−
I'm sorry if it's obvious and I'm just missing it! :)
−
−
−
Hi Tara,
−
−
Lists are confusing, for sure. When I do a search for homeopathic - I get two lists:
−
−
Sneeze, Wheeze, Allergies
−
−
Healing: Resources & Information
−
−
at http://www.aboutus.org/Special/search?tags=homeopathic
−
−
Do you see that?
−
−
When you ask 'Now what?' - what are you referring to? Starting your own list, fixing up an existing list?
−
−
:-)
−
−
Thanks for your patience with us!
−
−
Best, Mark Dilley

Hello MarkDilley,

Hi Mark,
−
I am a webdesigner, and even your list creation has me stumped.
−
When I do a search for 'homeopathic', there are no lists returned.
−
−
Now what? The instructions are confusing and I can usually get through
−
all kinds of things.
−
−
Help! :)

What is a List Keeper?

We'll help you start your list. Email Help@AboutUs.org and let us know what you would like the name of your list to be.
