Quick tip<\/h1>\n

Problem:<\/h2>\n

I started to compile a link list of\u00a0 mostly free image stock (creative commons) websites<\/strong><\/a> that I knew about. I was assembling this list for my students so they had images to use on their projects without violating copyrights. As\u00a0 I added them it was in no particular order. I found I was duplicating links and not able to go back later to find a specific link. You would think that in Adobe Dreamweaver there would be an easy way to sort this kind of content and every other solution I saw required javascript which I thought was a rather cumbersome approach.<\/p>\n

Here is my the solution:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Copy the contents right off the webpage (ctrl+click or right click<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  2. Paste the contents into Microsoft word. It keeps all the HTML formatting if you want to later copy it and paste it into your own web page.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the text again and hit the Home<\/strong> ribbon tab to access the paragraph styles.<\/li>\n
  4. You’ll see a button that looks like A-Z with an arrow. Click that and it will offer options to sort your list. Sort by paragraph, type: text in ascending order and you’ll have an alphabetical list!\"Use<\/li>\n
  5. Then paste it back into the web page and it retains all the links and the formatting. Yeah!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144,13,123,124,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art58","category-graphic-design","category-tutorial","category-tutorials","category-web-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3799"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3807,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3799\/revisions\/3807"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
