How to make a custom mind map
One of the most cool features of MMM is the ability to make custom mindmaps of only the tags you are interested in. How do you do it:
first you need to register.
(yeah, I know, it sucks. But I need to store the map next to your name, so that if you come back you can delete it. My internal sense of order gets upset without this.)
To test the system you don’t actually need to upload your own data. You can do it with any other data uploaded by anyone else. Just go on the main page, and when it sais:
Chris’ zoo from Pietro’s file data.xml
using tags: wildanimal taoism sustainability permaculture embodiment ecology activism activist animalaid animal animalrights animals animalexperimentation
by Pietro on the 4th of May 2007
click on data.xml
Yes, you can click above, from this page, but the point is to learn to do it from the front page. Clicking on Data.xml will send you to the data page of the data “Data”. That is, the data (type of page) of the data (what it contains) “Data” (name of the data).
There you will find a huge tag cloud. Click on the tags you are interested in.
Scroll down, add a nice title. Click Make Custom map.
Et voila’!
Hint: if you don’t add any tag you make a map with all the tags.

Hey;
in the (almost) three years since this website was last updated, delicious now doesn’t export xml files, and the api call that is pointed to doesn’t work. So: you can use this website if you’ve got the skills to convert html to xml, but if you can’t do that, this website is useless.
I just wasted an hour of my life finding that out.

Hi Pete, thanks for posting.
Mind My Map is broken, but the API from delicious works fine. I just tested it.
You need to be logged in and then point your browser to:
https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all
Save the page that comes out.
But you are right that I should fix the website.
Pietro
