How to Create Your Own Recommended Diary List

Tue Apr 15, 2008 at 12:11:45 AM PDT

I was going to post a diary today on the ruling establishment and their agenda but I got busy and couldn't finish it.

So I figured I'd share a little trick with you all I've been doing lately, especially since the campaign flood.

The Rec'd diary list only has eight slots - which is not enough imo. This ensures that diaries with a significant number of recommends, which are a good indicator of quality or point of interest, will not make the list.

So I have a little workaround the gives me a cool list of diaries based on how many rec's they have.

Do a search for the word "the". Set the time frame to say 12 hours - or whatever. Then set the sort to "Recommend". And change stories to diaries. Voilà! You now have the "best of" Diaily Kos for the last 12 or 24 hours.

Or you can click this link and save it to your bookmarks. It's set for last 24 hours.

I use this a lot now as it helps cut through the noise, and keep up with shit the community finds important.

That's it. This is my big diary for today.

And oh yeah, the corporate media is controlling this election.
