La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Did you know...
...that if you have a premium account at WDC (if you don't, keep reading...), you can use the "Signature Manager" in your account settings (My Account -> Account Settings -> Additional Account Settings -> Manage Signature(s)) to create a book-specific template for your book entries? For example, in my book item, "Poor Witch: Settings" Open in new Window., my template looks like this: See Template ▼

So whenever I navigate to "Add an Entry" for that particular book, the template automatically appears in the entry, and I just have to follow the prompts to complete the entry. I can edit it at any time. There are entries with no information - only the template - because I haven't gotten around to filling in the details yet, but the setting appears in my story(ies), so it's on the list.

If you're not a premium member
You can still do the same thing using your Notepad (left navigation menu, between "Messenger" and "Blog"). Create the template, store it as a page in your Notepad, and then copy/paste the template into your book entry or static item. In a static item, you can just add settings like so:

See Code ▼

Or if you prefer a cleaner finished look, you could add dropnotes like this:

See Code ▼

Which looks like this:

Setting #1 ▼
Setting #2 ▼

Note that these work for any kind of list/database of profiles, and for the example book item above, I also have templates in books containing my characters, definitions, and background stories lists for this novel series.

Have you found another convenient way to add, store, and edit your settings in WDC? What about outside WDC?
