The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread - Please Read!

[Quixotic1]

For almost two years we have been working on the Health Pages - Bits of information that we have found useful on the forum.  I have written some and dozens of you have contributed wonderful ones.

But, when you click on "Health Pages" in the upper right hand corner you get three pages of jumbled, disorganized pages listed in order of the last time they were updated.  This would be bad if we only 12 articles, but we have closer to 75 and the list keeps growing.

Some time ago I created an outline to place the pages in.  My goal was to get all of them in the outline so someone could easily look up an article for a specific topic.  I have been very lazy in getting all of them linked.  But, I am back to working on it.  They will be up-to-date soon.

The next step will be for MedHelp to give us some way to land FIRST on the Index page so we can find stuff.  That hasn't happened yet.

In the meantime I propose that we all go to the MS Resources and Information Index and save it to our browser's Favorites/Bookmark or whatever.  Then, instead of clicking on "Health Pages" we can go directly to the outline via our browser toolbar.

Anyone have other ideas?

Here is the Index/Outline that you could save as a Favorite (in Internet Explorer)

the real purpose of this post was to tell people to bookmark the Index so they can find HPs quickly.

Will do, but I'm looking for it again so I can see the progress - I gave up before :( once I get it I'm going to save it...

I hope they can find a general solution - you've worked so hard on those pages and there is much to be learned from them. Can they at least push pin the outline so it stays on top. It could have different properties than the rest of the pages...

Thank you Doc Q

Shell, try saving the outline page by itself.  that will help the most right now.

Did you see that I linked another couple dozen HPs to the outline?  Okay, not the best thing since Bread, but it's getting better.

Getting MedHelp to bring up the outline directly has proved to be a hard task.

All the forum have to have the same template and we are one of  the few with enough topics to do an outline.

I have used the outline but like you say with the jumbling, I get lost and cannot even find it 1/2 the time. I had to just go dig for it again because I've not seen it readily in awhile.

My thoughts are that the Outline should be our very 1st visual when we click Health Pages.

Titles of HPs are important too, that way we continue some consistency with grouping of topics. Like what we did with the MRI protocol and the McDonald Criteria.

In the outline it will be easier to see that one topic has more than one HP too...
