When you go to a site, what part or parts of the site do you use the most?

Here at Mylot, I use "started" and "friends started" the most because I like to answer people who wrote to me and answer my friends. On ebay, I use search and saved search the most because I like to see certain items up for sale and don't want to miss any in the recycling, how to DVD and videos, as well as recycled crafts areas. On etsy, I look at what used to be Alchemy in the heading (still called that when you get there), but is now called Custom for custom made items. Items that people want other people to make for them. I also use search for supply-fibers to see what they have and recycled to see what is there. I recently tried the locator to see how many crafters are in my state and the one next door. On Helium, I used to use my helium and earnings/payments the most. But since they started this new way of paying people, I don't get paid, so after a few times, I quit going there. So what sites do you use the most and what parts of the sites do you use the most? Are there any sites or parts you quit using? Are there sites or parts of sites you just discovered? Why do you use some parts of sites way more than others?

The parts I use the most are the parts that don't slow down or freeze my computer..For example, here at mylot it is answering my friends discussions from my inbox..Ebay, as much as I use it, is really bad, but if I want to buy something, I just have to be patient..(Not one of my qualities.. ) So when I go even to view what I started, it takes forever to load and I will be heading over to your profile send you a PM, so I am risking another restart.. I am going to defragment this Wednesday, I hope it helps...

I hope it helps, too. I noticed that links don't seem to work on PM. I found a "fusing plastic bags" site, too. Not just plastic bags as yarn, so I'll see if I can get that link to work here (this site tells how, one site had plastic bag dresses even, but this one just has bags and how to do them): http://etsylabs.blogspot.com/2007/05/long-overdue-fusing-plastic-bag.html I know this doesn't go with this discussion, but it does go with my recycling and crafts ones in general, hope it doesn't get deleted. Take care.

I hope it doesn't get deleted either for your sake, but if they do, I saved that link also..And thank you so much for considering I can't watch, (or make that listen) to videos..The way she explained the fusing and with the pictures, it looks very easy, I just got to come up with what to make..But I am not asking, though you could offer, I am sure that something awesome will come to me to make something..Thank you again, can't wait to put it into action..

There is another link with a brown dress and other clothes that looks neat. I would think a rain poncho would be cool. Dresses would probably work as long as a person has cotton or some natural fiber underneath (like a slip) and lots of air circulation. Shirts and pants I don't think would be a good idea. The bags would be neat on a rainy day. Glad the link came up for you. Take care and happy bag recycling!

Well, I am like you, and do have certain areas I always go to first. Especially when posting and responding in here. Most of the time, I will either do the Top Discussions for right then, or my friends discussions first. Then I usually will post back to some of my favorite interests like myLot, etc. and go from there. On other sites, it often depends on what I am there for. Many times I will usually check out my Earnings if it is a site I earn $$ from there, and then check for New messages, etc. and then go from there. But since nothing is Never set it stone somedays it can vary as well.

Yes, "usually" is the word here, for sure. The great thing is that we have a lot of things to choose from and we can go in a pattern that works for us or vary it. That's part of what is great about all these sites is that there is a variety of things we can do. Take care

Other than Helium, I don't generally go to the earnings first. Guess that says something. Thanks and take care.
