First Anniversary Index of Applications of MindManager
Its been bugging me for a few days that I can't see an index of my blogs. I am hoping that someone will point me to a useful Blogger add-in after this posting. In the meantime I have constructed a few with MindManager by dragging and dropping titles and links via a Google search.
You can view the index:
The clickable image map shows the original map full scale but I replaced the standard jog file with a gif so it loads faster.
The PDF file alters the formatting and produces a very large file.
The Flash is also big which is why I put it on a separate page.
I need to write a version of the outline template so it is fit for the purpose of adding linked text to a blog. The styles and structure make it too complicated at the moment. Use view source to see what I mean.
The easiest way has got to be publishing it as map and letting you download it. It is also bar far the smallest file size.
You can view the index:
- As a large clickable image map
- By downloading the Mindjet Player PDF
- By viewing the Mindjet Player Flash Page
- As a text linked outline
- And I only just thought of this, you can download the MindManager map.

Happy anniversary, Andrew! As you know, I'm a fan of the clickable image map, and I think this is a great (and underrated) way of sharing MindManager maps like the index you've created. Without having to open any other application, I can use Internet Explorer to save a copy of the image map as a Single File Web Page (.mht) and add the file (on my computer) to my Favourites. (Obviously it's then also available to consult offline, again without having to open any other application.) It's difficult to get more convenient than that! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us this year!

Hi Graham
Thank you for the feedback and a good tip about saving the Single File Web Page. As you can detect I am not quite satisfied with some of the other exports. for the Flash types you have understand the final format. Then select and construct maps which suit it.
Once upon a time I had a clickable map as my desktop but operating systems (XP and its predecessors) and resources kept on failing me. With Vista you only seem to be able to have a picture not a web page in the background. Just did a little search seems like I might need to load the Vista Sidebar (bye bye to more resources and speed)
