JL Forums

I contacted support to find out how to delete the paid articles I've already posted to blogs or submitted to an article directory as the list is getting quite unwieldy.  I was surprised to learn there is no such functionality in place to accomplish this.  It was suggested I post the idea here in the forum as a feature request so...here it is.  I must say I'm surprised no one else has requested this feature yet (unless I missed something in my search of the forums), as it really is getting cumbersome going through such a long list of articles and trying to determine what's been posted, what I had to skip for some reason, etc.   I really need to be able to remove or hide an article from the list once it's been used.  Perhaps better than completely deleting them would be a "hide/unhide" button that doesn't delete but just makes it obvious there is a hidden article there than can be unhidden should we ever desire to access it again.

Another feature that would be nice: Is it possible to have a "tags" field in the post to blog dialogue box that will then auto-populate the post with the tags?  It would be so nice if needn't go login to the blog, pull up the post, and then add the tags after the fact. 

I don't know if Jonathan will add this feature or not, but I can offer a work-around (this is what I do).  Download each completed article to your computer.  As you use them, move them to a folder that's named something like "Published Articles."  That way, I know which articles I've used, and which I still need to use.

When I download them, I save them in folders that are dated by the dates that each article was completed, so I know which articles I've already downloaded from the site.  Here is an example of the folder structure I use:

C:/Documents/Jiffy Articles/2011-11-13/Waiting To Be Published/Published
C:/Documents/Jiffy Articles/2011-11-21/Waiting To Be Published/Published
C:/Documents/Jiffy Articles/2011-12-05/Waiting To Be Published/Published

Any articles inside "Waiting To Be Published" have not yet been used.  Any articles in "Published" have already been used.  I hope this makes sense.
