Great idea, but I don't understand how to get to the ping list without the link! Sorry, I can barely turn my computer on you see! I have seen the official ping list twice, but only from a link. Do you just type in Ping list in the search feature?
I am really excited to have this feature, since I sometimes miss good Dubya and Laura stuff!

And ALL who are computer-challenged ......

I think I have this bump list figured out ... which is quite an accomplishment because I'm Queen of the Computer Challenged.

It isn't a *ping* list in the sense that we are accustomed to ..... there aren't names on it. We can use the search function to find this and other threads any time.

1. Go to the Latest Posts page.
2. Up near the top, locate the box to the left of the Search button.
3. Type To:"Bush Babes list" [you don't have to use the CAPS but the spacing and punctuation must be precise.]
4. Either hit the Search button or hit the Enter button on your computer.

If you see a thread you think would interest all the Bush Babes and Bucks, then get to the posting window. In the To box, type

Bush Babes list

Then anyone who goes through Steps 1-4 will find that thread listed. You can also list individual names to be pinged in the same reply if you want to, separated by those darn semi-colons.

Here is how it works. Let's say that I am buzzing around FR and I find something that I think the Bush Babes would like to read. I ping "Bush Babes list" in the TO: line (without the quotation marks.) Then, you go HERE TO THE BUMP PAGE and click on Bush Babes List and you can see what you pinged to that list. All Bush Babes need to go and check out that page and the Bush Babes link to see what has been pinged to the list. I don't ping you individually. Does this make sense? Go check out the page linked above and maybe it will make sense.
