My Sites A-Z

My Sites A-Z displays all of your sites alphabetically. The number next to each site indicates how many specific pages you've added from a given site. If there is only one page backflipped for the site, you'll see the detailed page information. If there is more than one page for this site, click view list to see all the pages including date added and description.

Searching
Find your pages without hunting around. In the Search My Backflip box, simply type keywords from the Title, Description, URL or the actual Web site. Additionally, get extra-accurate results by using the following advanced search methods:

Exact Phrases: For exact phrases, use quotes (" "). If the page you're looking for has a Title with two words or more, enter both words enclosed in quotes (e.g. "ski racing" or "argentina budget travel"). Then click Search My Backflip. This also works well if you remember a phrase in the description.

All the Words: For all of the words, use the term AND. For instance, if you're seeking a page about learning how to play flamenco guitar, try entering the following: guitar AND instructions AND flamenco. That search will result in a page that has all three words: guitar, instructions and flamenco.

Some of the Words: Alternatively, use OR between words when you want results that contain only one of the words. For instance, to find pages which contain the word "guitar" or the word "music" enter the following: guitar OR music.

How do I look at all the pages I've added from one site?
Click the My Sites A-Z tab. That's where you'll see all of the sites you've backflipped. If you've backflipped more than one page on a site, you will see the number of pages in parentheses. Click the View link and you'll see all of your pages from that site.

How do I know where my pages are located?
When you're looking at a listing of a page, you'll see a little trail at the bottom. This trail begins with the folder or folders you've placed it in.

(Here's an example. Sports > Snowboarding > http://mountainzone.com/snowboarding/99/features/alpine-meadows) In this example, a member placed a snowboarding page in a Snowboarding folder. And the member created the Snowboarding folder as a subfolder of the Sports folder.

Folders, Sites, Pages... What's the difference?
Backflip provides several ways for you to find your information. My Folders presents your Web pages in logical groups. My Sites A-Z provides a good way to see information -- alphabetically -- when you use many pages on one site. My New Pages presents a chronological list of pages you've added. Don't forget about searching! That's where you quickly perform a keyword search on all of your Web pages in Backflip.

What are my Top Ten sites?
This is visible from My Sites A-Z. They're the sites (often called "domains") you visit the most. For instance, if you often visit many different pages within Amazon, the site, amazon.com, will appear in your Top Ten Sites.
