Hallo again @sykochica and you are doing in a round-about way that which concerned me a few days ago, and have been commenting on with @spiritualmatters and @vaansteam and that is indexing. I have just written a rave to @arcange hoping he has time to give a thoughtful reply. In my blog I have begun numbering and at my 33rd day decided to list my blog posts for easier scrolling if you have no link by comment/reply. I want everybody to start talking of this. Our community will expand exponentially this year. We need votes, it possibly bit-steem votes on archived posts. We need indexing of archives into divisions better than present tags. Like an ancestry tree, under say, photography, a flower photo might be personal to your garden, to a public park, to the wild, to another site (fb). The same flower might be in pot, in ground, on shrub, or on tree. Or even in buttonhole or on hat.
Or, a query in English grammar, - is it tagged grammar, english, education, culture, funny, literature, or ¿ and how much scrolling back. There must be wonderful posts on How To for newbies, but I don't know how to find them, and I've been looking for a month. A blog of simple 123456 series of actions to do, your idea above for NON computer users would be an excellent idea as well. I discovered a need for an index when someone beside my reply replied, and something he wrote gave me to understand he might of had what I was researching in his blog. A lot of scrolling and counting, and I found exactly that. But he gets no vote, and if I hadn't thought to reply there, I could probably lose the post again. An index would be invaluable. Down the track, one is going to want to copy/paste and bring a book to publishers, and think of sorting through the photos and photo competitions, phew¡
If IT could pinpoint a landing on Moon when I was at school too many years ago, then today's wizards can index an archive in such a way as to be accessible. I've heard negative for blockchain, but I don't believe in negatives, one's subconscious can only listen to the executive command and cannot process a negative, that takes the ego and a lack of self-esteem, so I want the community of steemits to get steamed about a steemit index.
Keep on keeping on. 😇

A fantastic comment, you have a new follower.
Did you pad out this comment as a post at any point?
I'd be keen to support a feature length piece with diagrams for us layman folk 👍🏾
Not a post yet, as still trying to organise my WW1 notes and lost most of photos to a Dell crash just before xmas. I am not computer oriented or trained, and your Google Doc, so far seems to be what we have to do. And that on the outside. The IT genius seem to be saying inside steemit on blockchain, indexing would be too difficult. Me, as an observer of Neil Armstrong whilst at junior high, do not believe them. Some 'kid' will look at the difficulty as a challenge, and nano-tech will tweak a solution and all steemit users will join in and index the archive, for their own posterity if not to help researchers and new jacks.
All I've been able to think of is keeping my own records, and listing and numbering my own posts. Not even thought of comments and replies. I am however keeping notes on a couple comments/replies, because they do, or can, return as posts.
Sorry to hear about the 'crash', let me know when you have collected your material and have something to present.
Yes some replies contain great information, and it's these that I have the most trouble keeping a record of. I do end up resteeming to try and keep information, and end up bookmarking at times too.
Cheers.
How, bookmark?
In steemit?
In the browser sorry. You need to be organised with plenty of folders!
Ah yes. Unfortunately for me, I am having to remember and recheck, as am not on cpu, but small android ph. Will have indexed folders when my income gets my laptop up and running. One step at a time. I can't type but one or two fingers, and my computer experience was back in time on analogue. This digital may seem simple to one who has used it twenty years, but it is not as simple as it appears. Many of the explanations are written by techies to assumed techies. Even the FAQ list sometimes makes no sense whatsoever if one has no computer training.
There is never need to hurry. I keep on keeping on. 😇
I understand. I am using a mobile device at present and it is no fun at all.
Hopefully things will become easier with the laptop in play.
Thank-you
