A masterlist is a post that shows all of your works, or posts that you’d like to display. If you make edits, or you write, then these are very helpful to have.
The kind that is rebloggable:
Underneath “Edit Appearance” to the right
Here you will find a map of every post you’ve made
Title it however you’d like
On the MPE (mass post editor) find the post you’d like to add and right click on the gray square it’s in (or picture or video)
Type out the title of the post you’re going to add a link to
Go to the post in a separate tab and copy the link from it
Head back to the Masterlist
Select over the title you typed
Choose the figure eight in the middle of the bubbles above your title
A new grey bar should come up
Paste your link into the grey bar
Press “Done” to the right of the bar
Your title should have a grey line under it
I would suggest that you save your work once you’ve done the first link, and put it into your drafts
If you aren’t sure where to go from here, there’s more advice below
The kind that opens up on a new page:
Click “Edit Appearance” to the right
To the right of the header “Website Theme” there’s a grey box that says “Edit Theme”
Here you will find more detailed ways to say that to edit your blog
(yours will not say /guidelinesandpolicy, that’s specific to my page)
Title the page (I’d suggest) Masterlist or Masterpost, something indicating that these are your works
Go to the upper righthand corner and click so that by “Show a link to this page” the bar to the right is blue
Go down to the body of the white space
In a new tab go back to your blog
Underneath “edit appearance” there is “mass post editor” click that
There you will find every post of yours
Click a post you want on your masterlist and it will open up
Copy the link from that post
Go back to your other page
In the body of the post, type out the title of the post that you’re going to put on your list
Click on the figure eight above the highlighted text
Paste your link into the grey bar
There you have your first link to your works
Continue doing this for every post of yours that you want to link to
Once you’re done, or are going to take a break in making it, go up to the half finished link towards the top
after the / type in “masterlist” (do not add quotations btw)
Be absolutely sure to click “update preview” to make sur everything is in check
Then to save (blue rectangle next to update preview)
If you’re unsure of how to continue on from there, there will be more advice below.
If you were unsure how to go on from there, here’s some more facts and tips about masterlists.
Each link is normally sorted into a category, such as:
Post type (scenario, one-shot, fanfiction)
Genre (fluff, smut, angst, humor)
If your post is too long for your liking, then you can put it in bulletpoints
To put it in bulletpoints - highlight the text and click the bubble with three dots and three lines
Many blogs keep links to their masterlists in their descriptions
here is a good tutorial (not by me)
Most masterlists (as I recommend) have warnings on them
Things that you might like to warn your followers of are if your posts mention:
Sex related themes (like smut)
Homosexuality and\or sexuality themes
Examples of final masterlists that are well sorted are:
