We started a monthly "First Person" Customizable Link last month. Classmates volunteer to write an article about anything. However, we would like to be able to keep the old articles available for look-up and viewing. Does anyone know how this can be done? Lea Smith

Why don't you create a new FORUM for your User Forums called "FIRST PERSON". For the TOPIC, the name of the person, then each classmate can comment with their own comments about each topoic.

Neat Idea, Lea Create content pages using Gallery Creator. Then 'archive' each new story to one of those Gallery Creator pages. You can include a set of links at the top of the "First Person" page that will bring up each of the previous highlighted articles.

We created a "left side button" called 61HF Archives. Works well.

We have renamed the forum to Showtime! for those who want to "show off" their accomplishments. I then created several new forums -- one called "Arts" and described it as "For your paintings, pottery, sculptures, jewelry, quilting, weaving -- any works of art". I also created ones titled "Writings, Awards, Volunteer Projects, Photographs and Hobbies. Each one has a description about it. I sent out an email indicating how to post to each forum by clicking on the forum they want to post to, clicking on a new topic and then adding their particular information. It seems to be working a little anyway. But since we had only one post on the old forum during the past year this is a big step. We have had several poems posted, a link to a photo site, a painting uploaded, etc. I will just have to keep reminding people to enter on this forum because most people do not want to "brag" about their accomplishment even though the rest of us would like to know what our classmates have been doing for the last 50 years.
