Adding Offline Information to Lists - 90 views

    I would like to add a quote from an offline source so that it displays as a bookmark item on a list would. Basically, using the "highlight and bookmark" function without adding a URL.



    I could click on "add section" in "My Lists". However, I would prefer the information to be displayed as a bookmark item would. That way I can add sticky notes and such.



    Any suggestions? I could just click on any website and then edit the title of the bookmark later, but that seems like too much work for something so simple. Instead of the URL, it would be great if I could input the title of the source like a book or magazine.

    I have figured out how to add offline information so that it appears as a bookmark. On the "my bookmarks" page, go to the "add a bookmark" section (on the right side) and click "Add". You don't need to enter anything in the "Add" box.

    When the "Add New Bookmark" page opens, you just input what you want. Of course, it would be great if we could choose to input a book/article title into the URL box.

    Unfortunately, there is an error in Diigo which only allows you to input one piece of offline information. Every time I try to add a new item to the bookmark list, the previous item is written over with the new item.

    "I was going to send you a message requesting if you could update me when you find a way to add offline information to your Diigo without the limitations (from the topic you made at the group) but I wasn't allowed to send you a message so here I am asking to be your friend."

    I apologize for posting my message here but I wasn't allowed to send you a message and I kept getting a captcha error when requesting to be friends.
