I like to start my site visit by scanning the Recent Diaries List. In DK5 that ‘s been taking me an awkward couple of clicks (punctuated by moments of “where was that?” mental meandering). Then I realized that I could edit my login shortcut, changing ww.dailykos.com to www.dailykos.com/diaries. Presto, for me now the site opens directly to the Recent Diary List! From then on, I use “open in new tab” options to look at any diaries, keeping the Recent Diaries List readily at hand in my first browser tab.
Of course the Recent Diaries List is a DK4 remnant, destined to be thrown into the code crusher as DK5 rolls on.
But in the meantime...
