Now that The Palm Post is up and running, the next question is "How exactly do I bookmark those specific sub-categories?"
 
It's a great question, and the answer is an exciting journey through the world of digital shortcuts! Since "bookmark" can mean everything from a browser favorite to an icon on your phone's home screen, we’ve broken down the steps into three simple options.
  1. The classic browser bookmark
  2. The desktop/laptop shortcut
  3. The mobile home screen icon
Select the one that best fits how you use your device and have The Palm Post’s categories that you prefer right at your fingertips.
 
Option 1: The Classic Browser Bookmark 
 
Desktop/Laptop
 
This is the traditional method: saving a page inside your web browser’s internal bookmark list for quick access later. This is perfect for those who primarily use a computer or laptop.
 
Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge
While viewing your favorite category (e.g., "Golf"), click the star icon (⭐) to the right of the address bar.
Hot Key Shortcut: Ctrl + D (Windows) or Cmd + D (Mac)
 
Mozilla Firefox
While viewing the category, click the star icon (⭐) in the address bar.
Hot Key Shortcut: Ctrl + D (Windows) or Cmd + D (Mac)
 
Apple Safari
Click "Bookmarks" in the top menu bar, then select "Add Bookmark..."
Hot Key Shortcut: Cmd + D (Mac)
 
Pro-Tip: Make sure to save the bookmark in your "Bookmarks Bar" (or "Favorites Bar"). This is the strip of icons just below the address bar, giving you one-click access to your favorite topics!
 
Mobile Devices
 
This method saves the link to your browser's internal bookmarks list, perfect for users who like to organize their saved pages inside the browser app.
 
Chrome (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then tap the Star Icon (⭐).
 
Safari (iOS/iPadOS)
Tap the Share Icon (↑ - a square with an up arrow), then select "Add Bookmark."
 
Firefox (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then tap the Star Icon (⭐).
 
DuckDuckGo (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then select "Bookmark" or "Add to Favorites."
 
Option 2: The Desktop/Laptop Shortcut (The Instant Launchpad)
 
Want to bypass the browser entirely and launch straight to a specific category? A Desktop Shortcut (or equivalent) is your secret weapon. This is the most browser-agnostic method for computers!
  1. Navigate: Go to the specific news category page you wish to save (e.g., “Pickleball").
  2. Locate the Site Icon: In the address bar (where the web address is shown), look for the small icon on the far left. It's often a padlock or a globe.
  3. Drag and Drop (The Universal Way): Click and drag that small site icon directly out of the address bar and onto your desktop.
  4. Rename/Complete Setup:
    • Windows: The shortcut is created automatically. Rename the file (e.g., "The Palm Post: Activities").
    • Mac: The Alias is created automatically. Rename the file.
    • Linux (GNOME/KDE): When you drop the icon, you may need to right-click the file, go to Properties, and set its file type to "Link" or "Web Application" and ensure it's marked as Executable. Rename the file.
This drag-and-drop method is the equivalent of a digital red-carpet entrance! It works in virtually every major desktop browser, giving you a direct launchpad to the latest scoop, regardless of your operating system.
 
Option 3: The Mobile Home Screen Icon (The App Look-Alike)
 
This is the most common request: making the category look like an app on your smartphone or tablet's home screen.
 
For iPhone / iPad (Safari & DuckDuckGo):
  1. Open your browser (Safari or DuckDuckGo) and navigate to the specific news category page.
  2. Tap the Share Icon (↑ - a square with an up arrow).
  3. Scroll down the menu and tap "Add to Home Screen."
  4. You can edit the name (e.g., "MCRSLW Pickleball"). Tap "Add."
  5. An icon now appears on your home screen for instant access!
For Android (Chrome, Firefox, & DuckDuckGo):
  1. Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or DuckDuckGo) and navigate to the specific news category page.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap "Add to Home Screen" (Chrome) or "Install" or "Add Page Shortcut" (Firefox, depending on version).
  4. Edit the name if desired (e.g., "MCRSLW Shuffleboard"). Tap "Add."
  5. An icon is placed on your home screen!
Still Have Questions?
 
We hope this clarifies the path to saving your preferred topics! Because every device and app is slightly different, the key is to look for the Star icon (⭐), the Three-Dot Menu (⋮), or the Share Icon (↑)-these are the universal signs for saving or sharing a link!

Say goodbye to digging through endless emails or checking general announcements boards for that one piece of information you need. Our new Blog feature is here to streamline how you get your community news, offering a clear, organized, and searchable source for news and information from the Committees. 
 
News You Can Use, Organized Just for You
 
Think of this as the source for event news, important updates, and announcements from various Committees. We've organized our content into a simple two-tier structure to make navigation a breeze: Categories and Sub-Categories.

This is the feature we think you'll love most! Don't care about the Book Club but live for Pickleball? You don't have to wade through every article!
 
The platform allows you to bookmark specific Categories or even highly focused Sub-Categories. This means you can create your own customized news stream that filters out the noise and delivers only the articles you care about most, ensuring you never miss a crucial update about your favorite activities or groups.
