New LDS Website ROCKS!

So I know that the new website has been in Beta (testing stage) for quite a while now but it is getting better and better all the time.

Here are a few things I love.

1. Melanie
2. Leila & Ethan
3. The rest of you :)
4. New Stuff at new.lds.org
5. Stinky Cheese

          In that order...

I recently discovered a new feature that I am going to use ALL the time. It is called the My Study Notebook. You can access it by going to the beta sight http://new.lds.org/?lang=eng and then clicking on tools and selecting My Study Notebook. You will need to log in using your LDS Account for this to work [That is the same account you use for indexing... if you are cool enough to index :) ]. The thing I love about this the most is that it keeps all my notes together. I hate it when I write something down in a notebook and then I never look at the notebook again. This tool helps make what you learn accessible for you in the future.

Another cool feature is tagging. Tagging is like assigning key words to your note or highlight. This can be very useful because later on you can search for things by their tags.... Say you read a good scripture about how the Holy Ghost can guide you and it reminds you of an experience you had when the Holy Ghost guided you. You could make a note in your My Study Notebook about that experience and give it a tag like - personal experience, Holy Ghost, guidance. Later on you could search for everything that has to do with the Holy Ghost, personal experience or guidance. This could be great for preparing a lesson or talk...

Give it a try  http://new.lds.org/?lang=eng

The End

PS - At the bottom of most pages there is this tab USE IT !!!!! The more feedback they get the better the site will get... That's the purpose of running a beta (test) sight...
