go to your “My Profile” space and add photos, images, video, widgets

select a circle from your circles menu and find other users and add topics like a dynamic forum.

just click the “contextual menu” button on the bottom left of each note and select “color”.

this will open a wizard where you can change the text and background color of that note!

you can select a pre-configured color scheme or use “hex” color code, like ”#ffff00=yellow” still. but it’s so easy… (make sure you include the # sign)

click the alarm clock icon on the top right of the screen!

• TV shows!
• Books you’re reading!
• Parties you’re at!
• Brainstorm spasms at 3am!

This is a brief tour of the benefits of METANOTES.

You can create a new blank space at any time with the top menu.

delete these notes at will !

it’s an iphone app too so you can take metanotes with you wherever you go if you have one of those.

• if you want to create a bulleted list in a metanote,
  • and i know you do…
• you need to know what an asterisk is.
• it’s the little “star” that shows up when you hit Shift-8 on any standard keyboard.
• If you begin any new line in a metanote with “asterisk” and then a space, this will begin a BULLET LIST automatically!
  • To make sub-bullets, enter two asterisks at the beginning of the line.
• It’s very simple once you get used to it!!!

• click it to “zoop” to the top left of the entire space!
• this is a quick and good thing to do if you get lost on a page or want to go back to the beginning.

You see an image you want to see again and again, so you want to save it to your MetaNotes account! All right:

• right-click the image.
• select “Copy Image Location”.
• create a new note and title it.
• *type ”!” then “ctrl-v” then ”!”.

Here’s an example:

For a permanent image link, upload your image to a free hosting service (like photobucket.com) and embed the ‘direct link’ url into a note. Don’t forget to flank the link with exclamation points!

• Invite your friends to a space when you are on there too.
• Their notes will pop up dynamically while you watch.

Double-click the background to create a new note. Then just start typing. Hit TAB to save.

• create a new space.
  • title it with a topic.
• start creating notes.
• save content there.
• invite others to the URL.
• it’s AMAZING.

Textile makes it easy to add special formatting. Use the following conventions:

• create bullet lists with asterisk-space as a line opener
• insert images by bracketing the URL with exclamation points
• bold text by bracketing it with asterisks
• italicize text by bracketing it with UNDERSCORES (that’s shift-dash on your keyboard)
• to separate paragraphs, hit the enter key two times – textile doesn’t recognize “newline” with just one enter.

you can make text HUGE by starting a new line with h1.

you can make text less huge but still big by starting a new line with h2.

don’t forget the period-space for h1. & h2.

to create a note on any space just find some empty space and double-click. that’s it!

sign up for a twitter account by clicking the “t” logo on the top right.

my username is “radiofreesrini”.

when you create your own first space. this is just sort of the help documentation – start creating spaces and notes on your chosen topics as soon as possible !!!

Double-click anywhere on the background to CREATE A NEW NOTE. And hit TAB to save.

Enter the subject of the note first, then hit return, then start typing (or copy-paste something) into the body of your new note. Then you can slide the note all around the space, resize it, etc. You can have hundreds of notes on a page, and you have all kinds of space to fill up.

To create a NEW space with whatever name you want as the title, use the TOOLS -> CREATE SPACE menu option.

Get help anytime – click the icon.
