Things You'll Need:
- Internet connection
- Patience and time
- A blog or website that links can be added to easily
-
Step 1
The Mighty Master List!First of all, I suggest a master list of all the titles and links to their respective articles on eHow. You can either set it up on a blog as a private page or a page that will go up as an overview of all your articles on a blog or web site. I considered using my word processing program to do a master list but decided that it would be a lot easier to let WordPress save the list first in draft form until I could see what it would look like. Once I started getting a couple of pages of articles on the list, that list started to look pretty impressive. As I added more and more pages, it began to look downright awesome!

Step 2
Add The TitleStart a new page on your blog, making sure you keep it in draft mode - at least for now. It’s relatively simple to do a link list. Starting it might have been the hardest part. Once I got going, it went faster and faster to add the title and then to create a hypertext link. I started adding my oldest articles first, then kept adding the newer ones at the top of the list. This made it a lot easier to keep track because I could see the articles in the same order as it is on eHow – making it easier to double/triple check.
Begin by typing the title as you want it to appear on the list in the blog or word processing program you want to save it in. Then highlight it. -
Step 3
Add The AddyNext, go to the page you want the title to be linked to. Copy the address. Then go back to the spot you want to save the title and link. Click the link button to open The page at http:// box. Simply paste in the copied URL address of the page you want the title to link to. Be sure there is only one set of http:// or the link won’t work.

Step 4
Oked And Link SetClick Ok... You will see a full line of hypertext. When the link is set, save it. Then go to a preview window and check the link to make sure it is correct and working.
-
Step 5
Keep Checking The Links!After you have a certain amount of the links set up, notice how the text looks. I settled into a 10 article addition before checking - basically doing a page of articles between checks using the preview window. If there is an extra space or not enough space between a couple links, you will probably see an inconsistency in the text list. If you can’t see how to correct it, delete the link and start over again.

Step 6
Save The Entire ListAfter finishing the master list, I copied and pasted all of it into a word processing program document. Make sure you save the entire list, naming it something you will easily recognize. A spare list can certainly save despair!

Step 7
Big Red X Means Added!Once you have a master list copied and saved, you can go through all the articles, one by one, to create specific pages, naming them Recipes, Critter Care or whatever you choose. With a bit of Text editing, you can simply check off each article as you add it to a category page. Two resources below have great examples of category pages - Duelin' Deals and StoreHows.com. The pages are easy to add to as you publish more articles.

on 10/24/2009 This technique has helped me with my game blog, plus a few other web sites I'm working on - anywhere I need to post links to previously published pages. Less clutter on my home pages as well.
