Frequently Asked Question #86

LiveJournal offers a to-do list feature for your projects and goals. Basic and Plus Accounts can have 25 to-do list items, while Early Adopter, Paid, and Permanent Accounts can have 150 to-do list items.

See another user's to-do list by entering his/her username on http://www.livejournal.com/todo/?mode=pickuser or http://www.livejournal.com/todo/?user=exampleusername, replacing exampleusername with the journal or community.

Managing Your To-do List

Adding a to-do item takes 3 steps:

1. Log in and go to your to-do list.
2. Click the Add Item link in the Actions section.
3. On the Add To-do Item page, enter a subject and other information about your to-do list item, then click the Add button at the bottom of the page to add this item to your to-do list.

Edit or delete a to-do list item by clicking on a subject line to reach the Edit To-Do Item page.

The To-Do List fields are:

• Subject: the title of your item. Each to-do list item must have a subject.
• Priority: the relative urgency of your item.
• Details: the description of your item.
• Status: the status of your item (e.g., "starting stages", "drawing board", or "almost done".)
• Percent Done: the percentage amount accomplished for your item.
• Due Date: the deadline for your item, formatted Month-Day-Year (4 digit year) Hour:Minute / mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm
• Categories: up to 10 keywords (e.g., "personal", "work", or "school") for filtering your to-do list.

To-Do List Security

If you are an Early Adopter, Paid or Permanent user, each to-do list item can have its own security. If you are a Basic or Plus user, you can only use the Public security level for your to-do list.

• Public: Anyone can see this item.
• Friends: Only your Friends can see it, while logged in.
• Private: Only you, when logged in, can see it.

You can also let your Friends add, edit, or delete your to-do list items by adding Friends to specific custom friends groups: priv-todo-add, priv-todo-edit, priv-todo-delete. Community maintainers can use these group names to let members add, edit or delete to-do list items.
