Tutorial: How to make collections using PeakD

I get very excited when someone wants to know how to do something that I have figured out how to do here on Hive. In response to my post recently, 4 year Hive Birthday, where I talked about the collections I have made, @fotostef said he would like to make some too.

Another shout out to @PeakD for making this awesome feature. I have 17 collections and have ideas for many more.

Things to note: You can have just one author in the collection or many. You can have as little or as many posts as you want You can continually add to your collections You get to pick the cover picture There is a section at the top of the collection to tell more about it You can also tell about each post and why you added it the collection You can put the posts in any order in the collection You can view collections as posts or collections You can edit the collection if they are in "view as post"

Here is a video about making collections.

For those that like to read and reference text...this section is for you.

Collection Overview

Click on Collections

Click on a collection ( I chose US National Parks)

Now you will see some great data and info about the collection Number of posts in the collection Number of authors in the collection When the collection was created When the collection was updated Information about the collection All the posts in the collection

Click View as Post

Now you see that it looks like other posts you are used to making

Edit Collection

Edit in view as post Scroll to the bottom of the page (in view as post) and click three dotes and then edit.

Edit in Collection view When viewing your collection you can click on the edit button on the top right.

Make a Collection

Thank you @PeakD for making this process so simple.

1- Click on pencil 2- Click on Create a Collection of Posts

A blank collection page

As noted: Do not delete the line already in the post.

3- Add Title 4- Add cover picture 5- Add summary of post 6- Add link for post (s)

7- Add topics

You can choose to add to include in your blog too. I personally like that, then I can see how it is doing. I have found that collections are not seen or commented on or liked as much as my other posts.

Publish!

There you have it. Simple and super fun way to organize your (and others) posts.

Thank you, for this post. I've looking for something like this since too long.
@anna-newkey(71)· 883d
Hi, I started using collections and found your post very helpful, but yours gives me an error just like mine? I don't suppose you know how to fix this?
@puma009(59)· 1647d
Pls help me understand peakd―what is it about?
@thunderjack(62)· 1650d
This is a great tutorial, having both video and text is helpful, so I am glad you posted your tutorial both ways. This makes organizing content on PeakD a lot better, something those of us new to this system need to learn. Thanks for sharing this information.

That's really useful Sara, and you know what it's almost my one year on Hive, I'm gonna use it. Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am missing something like this for a long time. YOu know to make our profile pages more interesting and organized. I am losing it sometimes when I see how unorganized everything is on the blockchain.
@traisto(68)· 1654d
Yay! I was thinking of asking you for a long time now and I am glad @fotostef did! Thank you for sharing, so useful! Bookmarked :)

With the markings it is super easy to understand that will definitely help beginners to deal with it. Really a good idea ! Have a nice start to the week.
@laurabellamy(67)· 1655d
One of these days I should really try this out!
@photovisions(76)· 1656d
Thanks for that - looks simple in Your tutorial - I am sure it is, have to try it soon.
@leaky20(79)· 1656d
This will probably be helpful to a lot of people. I didn't know how to make a collection until you let me know but it's super easy once you do it.

You did a great job explaining the process here as well.
