My Places Lists in Google Maps

When working in Google Maps, a frustrating issue occurred, concerning lists, list editing, and list deletion (rather, the inability to delete a list). Part of this is resolved. I found that the list which has the issues was automatically created in and added to my Google Maps app by a different app, as part of an event I created.

Here's what happened. In my Google Calendar app, I added an event reminder. The reminder has an option to add a location and link a Google Map to the event reminder. Then it allowed me to save that map. When I hit 'Save,' the options included saving to an existing list, or creating a new list.

I created the new list, 'June Trip'. I didn't realize it then, but the list I saved in my calendar was saved to a different app--my Google Maps app. Later, when I opened Google Maps and viewed 'My Places', the list was there. Trouble is, I couldn't edit or delete the list or the map, and at that point, I couldn't remember how I added it! (I tried every option in Google Maps and in the map view itself; editing was not an option). At that moment, the June Trip list, with only one map point on it, seemed useless, but I could not delete it. Frustrating!

However, I later discovered that I could go to my Google Calendar app, look up all reminders relating to my June trip, add a location, link a map, and 'save' the location to the aforementioned existing list in Google Maps. Nice!

This accomplished what I was trying, but unable, to do straight from the Google Maps app. I guess part of the confusion is that any location list that I create in my calendar app automatically saves into my Google Maps app. So, I open Google Maps app, go to My Places, and see the list in that menu, but the list cannot be edited from there (interesting, odd; don't know why).

Anyway, I presume the list will be deleted from Google Maps when I delete all related reminders (group of related events for my trip) in the calendar app. All is well, if I can just remember all this after the trip! 🤔🙂

https://www.goldenpaints.com/technicalinfo_polvar

Great technical instruction sheet by Golden Paints on specs for Golden polymer varnish, including why and how to paint an isolation layer first (acrylic soft gel/water, thinned, 2:1 ratio, brushed or sprayed thin, to seal and separate painting layer from varnish layer) before coating with polymer varnish, also thinned/see article for ratio.

Also explains why and how to blend or build up various finishes to achieve desired result, including instructions for avoiding milky appearance if using a satin finish.

I tried converting this page to PDF without success, but I was on android. Try it on PC!

To Do ASAP on Southern Muse


ADD THIS LINK TO WEB HELPER:

http://www.okclipart.com/


Do a Potluck Link Directory. Also on your WebHelper page, put links to ALL your "go-to" sites. Include :
https://www.trustpilot.com/
Basically everything you have an account on.


Figure out this "custom URLs" thing. To use them, you probably have to add cNames at Network Solns. But to configure, you go into Google Admin Console to this address:

https://admin.google.com/southernmuse.com/AdminHome?hl=en&fral=1#CompanyProfile:flyout=customUrl

ALSO: DO A BLOG POST on Glimmers? or a page on S.M., telling about how hard it was to learn
HTML and CSS, using the screenshots of PEACOCK ALLEY and the PEACOCK ALLEY HTML
SOURCE-CODE SCREENSHOT that you created. It is in the Southern Muse Migration folder in the Peacock Alley subfolder.

Testing Blogger App Photo Upload

Haha! OK, I see why people were griping. No way to add a photo using the Blogger app. That's not enough of an issue to cause me to try a third-party app, though. I can still use this app on pic-less posts. You might be able to use email to do a post with pictures--I can't recall.

You can add a link using the app, and you can change a word to bold or italic, nothing else.

An odd thing: the labels I used in the previous test post did not come up as options in this post. I had to create the same label again.

Testing Blogger App

How easy is it
to post a blog entry
using this app?

I posted the above test-post in three-line format to see how well it will work on my other blog, T.T.H.

This entry was made on my mobile phone, so check fonts, et al., and see how it all looks style-wise.

Next post, I'll try a photo and see if it works and how long the upload takes.
