but I will know what I find.

Your Listography Page

• In the About You box and in lists, do not write or link to anything you would not want the public to view.
• Your Listography URL to share is at the top of your About You box. You can click on this link to view how others see your Listography. If there are numbers in your URL, you can create an easier-to-read unique URL on the Settings page.
• You will only see a Create List box, and Edit, Archive and Delete links when you are logged in.
• If your list title or list content is abbreviated, it can be read by clicking on the title.
• Always logout when finished using Listography to ensure that no one uses your account.

Folders

• Your archive folder is a place to store older lists to keep your main listography page easy to read.
• You can move any list from your archive back to the main page at any time.
• Your ongoing folder is a place to store lists you frequently update. For example, books to read, movies to see, todo, grocery lists, etc.
• Your private folder is a place to keep lists that can only be seen by you. Keep in mind that the privacy of these lists is only as secure as your password.

Your Favorite Listographies

• When logged in, you will see an Add to Favorites link in the title area for users that are not already in your Favorites List.
• Treat your "Favorite Listographies" as bookmarks. Adding a user to your Favorites does not automatically add you to theirs.
• If a Favorite has updated within one week, their name will appear in bold.
• You can delete Favorites at any time via the edit link.
• After adding Favorites, you will see their most recent lists in your Favorites box. To see all of your Favorites by name instead, click on the "all" link.

Archive

• Your Archive is a place to store older lists to keep your Listography Page easy to read.
• You can "Restore" any list in your Archive back to your Listography Page at anytime.

Comments

• If you are logged in you can leave comments for others on their lists and yours.
• You will know if someone left a comment by a number next to the Comments link.
• When someone leaves a comment, you will receive an email notification. You can disable these notifications on the Settings page.
• You can delete comments left on your lists.
• Please report any inappropriate use of the comments feature to misuse@listography.com.
