Is there a way to set the home page back a few days?

There was a nice set of articles on my home page the other day, and I tried to go back using the autosaved Layouts, but the ones that looked like previous home pages brought up the one for the present day.

Is there a way to make the home page go back a couple of days?

Thanks!

Kevin

Kevin - I'm not aware of anyway to roll back the home page. However, most of the articles are actually from resources in your library (the others are usually Logos blogs or the like if you have that setup. Try doing a library search for a phrase from the article to see if you can pull it back up.

No. Mainly because the selection of articles (excerpts) has a random nature that is independent of date.

Suggestion: take screenshots of ones you really like.

I'm with you Kevin - there was one time I saw a resource picture that I really liked but then for some reason or the other I refreshed the page or restarted Logos or something and lost the excerpt. I kept hitting "f5" over and over trying to get it back!! it's a problem when you have so many resources you don't know what gems are in many of them!

Alternative suggestion for those you might like: click on them. It will open the article/picture/excerpt/devotional in Logos and you may immediately close again (middle button click), but they will be stored in your Logos History and you may go back to revisit them at a later time. If you find you really like them, you could make a note to point you to this information.

Note that this doesn't work for blogs and other Logos-delivered homepage content and that you probably won't find them in several weeks time - but you won't need to manage a bunch of screenshots either.

Dave and Mick, thanks for those suggestions! [I]

Sorry that I hadn't spent enough time learning the program to work those out myself, but I finally upgraded from 64MB onboard video to a 256MB video card yesterday -- what a difference! Wanting to make better use of Logos is actually what motivated me to upgrade the video.

I did look up how to use named Layouts, though -- very handy. I think the home-page layouts must be saved as templates with some kind of placeholder tags for the auto-generation, rather than the specific random links for whatever day, even though they get a thumbnail in the snapshots list.

Anyway, the suggested methods are good enough for me.

Check out Mark Barnes post in this thread for a possible answer http://community.logos.com/forums/p/30656/227158.aspx

EDIT: Remembering that this topic had been done before I found the response above by doing the following search string in google:

Good idea...taking it a bit further would be to drag the resource to a favorites folder labeled something like "Interesting" or "Books to Explore" which is what I usually do.
