Using Diigo
When viewing Bookmarks: If you find a bookmark valuable, please press 'Like' so others will recognize its value. You can also add comments to the bookmark entry.
Tip: When looking for items of interest, you can narrow the list by selecting a Tag from the list in the right-hand column (you may have to scroll down to see it).
When adding Bookmarks, please Tag them with the name of the CMS, and annotate them with short descriptions of content. Tip: Anything that is highlighted on a webpage when you make a bookmark will automatically show up in the Description field, and can be edited.
Important enhancement: Diigolet is a browser add-on that is strongly recommended to make posting and highlighting much faster. It only takes moments to install.
* At the top of the page, click Tools.
* On the new page, go to the left-hand sidebar and click on Diigolet.

To set Alerts: It is handy to receive email notification of new postings to the group, but annoying when they come too often. To set your Alert Preferences:

* In the right-hand sidebar, click on Alert settings
* You will be able to choose how often you wish to receive Alerts
