Using the Virily Collections Feature

Virily has implemented a Collections feature.  If you consistently publish content at this site, if you publish about a wide range of topics and not a specific niche, and if you have published (or plan to publish) over 100 posts then you might want to think about using this feature.

It’s a good way to organize your specific posts under broad categories and makes it easy for those who view your work to find similar or related posts also written by you.

Another plus for grouping your posts in Collections is that it should improve SEO and increase the chances of your content being found via organic searches which could likely bring more external visitors to the site.

So far I have created 8 Collections for my posts (see listing below).  It’s a quick way to view which subjects I like to write about the most.  You don’t HAVE TO use it for your own posts.  This is how I am using it.  It’s an organization tool.  Use it to create collections of whatever you like.  This is an excellent feature the Virily site owners have provided for its members and it is so easy to use.

  1. You have written that “you don’t have to use it for your own posts”. Then how come, when I clicked the “8 collections” you have hyperlinked, all articles are your’s only?

    • My post is an example of how I am using the Collections feature. Because I wanted to organize my own posts. Others might follow my example. Or not! I wrote the post to give people ideas.

      Actually, my thoughts are not mentioned in the post. No point saying something if you have not yet decided to do it. I am thinking about using it to collect posts by other Virilyans but have not decided yet. It’s a future project I may or may not do. As for now organizing my own posts in Collections is a completed project. As for posts I enjoy written by others I’m not sure how I am going to group them. Still thinking on it.

      Good question!

      • Thank you for your detailed reply. Your articles are always informative. But sometimes, some doubts arise which I feel I should get clarified.

  2. Another feature I was not aware of. I will definitely check this out.
    Thanks for alerting us to another feature admin has not made us familiar with!
