Sharing photos, videos, vintage images I've discovered, and -- occasionally -- commentary and thoughts from retired life and travels.

What does the number at the bottom of the post mean and how do you “star” a message in gmail automatically?

In the comments for my last blog post, Dot and Urban Panther each asked a question.

Dot asked, “What do the numbers mean at the end of your posts?”

The numbers at the end of my posts signify the number of consecutive days that I’ve published a post on this blog.  I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it — just wanted to see how long I could/would do it.  So now, I’ll just go ahead and add the word “day” in front of the number.

Urban Panther asked, “You can automatically star emails in gmail? How do you do that?

  • In gmail, select “settings” at the top of the page.
  • Then select “filter.”
  • At the bottom, select “create new filter.”
  • Enter whatever information that you want to filter on, then select “Next Step.”
  • In this step, you are provided with all of the actions that you can apply to a message.  I “star it” and apply a label, “comments to respond to.”

And there you have it  — without a comment reply to do it.  ;)
