Here's a tip that I use to make posting on MyLot faster?

Lots of people ask me how I post so many discussions on MyLot in record time. It's amazing really that I get any posted at all. In my other life, I'm a full time mom who loves a clean house. I'm nit-picky that way.
Over the past year, I've picked up a trick or two for making posts go faster.
1. Most times I write out my discussion on Notepad (enlarged font for easier viewing). And, then copy/paste the text into the discussion box. For some reason, my notepad doesn't drag the way the Internet typing does. Maybe because it's resident on my computer and I'm not competing with the other Internet traffic just to type. That speeds things up considerably.
2. Work in multiple tabs. When you first get to MyLot, open up five or so tabs to "Start a discussion." Wait to tag each discussion until you've finished all five. This will organize and speed up your posting. Do that four times and you have 20 posts. Easy!
Hope that info helps. Please post your own time saving MyLot tips.

Hi,
I can't copy and paste because I haven't reach 500 posts. I always open up a lot of tab when I use myLot. This helps me increase my speed to respond to discussions and give comment.
I will open up those discussions I like in other tabs while I continue working on the current tab. after finish responding to current tab, other tabs already finish loading and I can respond to it one by one.
Happy mylotting.

Wow! You reached 500 posts and so much more
in the past month!
Good for you.
I'm very happy for you.
How's the new copy/paste working out for you?

Hello dear beauty queen. I thank you very much for your nice and helpful tips for us to make more good posts within the limited hours that we could spend at mylot. I think that they are very helpful and am very happy to have read this discussion of yours. To be honest with you, I am wondering how come you post so many discussions in a single day one after another when I read this discussion and have already find your secret of posting many discussions. I also love to read and respond every discussion of yours, which is of great quality and value to me. Thanks again, my dear beauty queen friend.

Thanks for saying so, my friend.
I am getting better at following up

and really talking with everyone.
I am learning more daily.
Thanks for your understanding and support

Be well.
Have a lovely day.

I also open up 5 tabs as I post 5 discussions each day. I use Microsoft word for typing up all my discussions b/c it has a great spell checker. I keep a blank template with just my siggy line on it, type in the discussion, copy, add a pic to the discussion, paste in the typing, add a title and there it goes. I usually add my tags as soon as it posts. It usually takes me about 30-45 minutes to do my 5 depending on how long the discussions are.

Actually there are no rules that say you can't type up your discussion in Notepad or Wordpad and then paste it to the start a discussion page. It also gives me a spell checker so my words are spelled right.

I do both ways these days.
Sometimes I have plenty of time
online and other times, I don't.
I'm still working on getting my other
computer up so that I can post onto
Notepad there and then just connect
that computer to the Internet when I get
a chance.
As is, I can't get online if my daughter
is using my computer.
She has her favorite educational shows.
I don't want to discourage those!

Some good points. Thank you. The first method is useful only if you've posted enough to be able to copy and paste. but the multiple tabs could be useful to all users (unless the tabs get confusing like they do for me) LOL

well i have been here 12 months now and i have around 12,000 postings. It averages out at about 750 posts per month, so i guess i am a mylot addict too. However, over recent months i have slowed down considerably. This suggests that in the earlier months i was touching 1,000 posts a month. All i know is that if you give time to mylot you do build up quite a lot of posts, but i really only start discussions when i have something to write about
blessed be

Well, beautyqueen, I just tried using notepad and my lines run so long I am wondering how that is going to work when I copy and paste it to start my discussion. I am curious if there is a different setting I need to set my notepad on or just keep typing away in notepad. Thanks for your help.

That is neat! I do open a few tabs at a time but never thought about typing in notepad and copy/pasting. That is awesome! Thanks so much for your help and tips. God bless you.

Very interesting tips! I do like how you plan out posts before you start on the 'site. And I do agree that copying and pasting is an internet user's friend- for any website!
Unfortunately I don't have any real tips- I type around 100 wpm, so I have yet to NEED to post quickly. However, I'm going to stick around and see if I can't pick up any extra tips from you guys once I get used to this website.
