How to make a custom mind map

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

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.
