It is organized similarly to the way the old delicious was though, and while you can tag links according to topic, I don't know if there is a way to group them they way you did with squidoo. It really seems to me that your best option would be a self hosted website (wordpress maybe?). It would give you the most flexibility and you would be in control of the content.Carolyn A.

Most important tip when self hosting - install and automated backup that regularly drops a backup either into your email or Dropbox, Amazon Drive or elsewhere that is not the same server.<br />I've been using one.com for hosting for a long time now.suzerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438110764478119006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-85214353489313897112014-08-17T11:47:29.956+00:002014-08-17T11:47:29.956+00:00Thanks Marion.

If so, then you're very limited indeed - Blogger is the only option I can recommend, but as you've probably found, creating good navigation for an informational site is a headache. <br /><br />If you don't use affiliate links, then Wordpress.com is the way to go. Very powerful, good navigation, there's even a bit of a community. And if you ever get to the point where you're prepared to spend a bit of money, you can transfer it easily to a Wordpress.org site on a host like Hostgator and preserve all your URL'sMarisa Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232998944043628312noreply@blogger.com
