Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed more people using blist to make and share their Christmas lists. In the Merritt household all of us are making Christmas blists this year too. One feature that makes blist so handy is that you can borrow other people’s blists and effectively use them as a template for your own. In that spirit, I thought I’d go ahead and publish my Christmas blist here. If you want to make your own Christmas blist, just open mine and copy it.
Here’s what my Christmas blist looks like, in widget form:
Here’s how you can copy my Christmas blist:
- Open my blist. You can do that in one of two ways.
- Either click on this URL to my Christmas blist
- or click on the “Full Screen” button in the widget above
- After my Christmas blist loads up, just click on the [Copy this blist] icon in the menu ribbon. It looks like this:
- After you click the [Copy this blist] icon, a window will pop up to let you give your blist a name, optionally enter a description and some tags, and set the desired permissions. The most important decision you need to make is whether you want the content or just the column names. Unless you and I are eerily the same, you’ll probably just want the column titles without my actual data.
That’s all there is to it. After you’ve created your Christmas blist, you’ll want to share it with your friends and family. Need help? Here’s a really short primer on how to share your blist.
