Each row in the following text fields represents one entry in the list.Each list entry must have a title and/or URL. Entry descriptions and images are entirely optional.The submitted link URLs would be automatically standardised. This will mean that it doesn't matter whether or not you include the http:// (or https//) atthe beginning or a / at the end.Don't worry if a title, URL or description takes more than one line in the input form. Regardless of whether the input was entered manually or copied andpasted, this website can distinguish between whether the input going to a new line was due to its long length or from the use of the enter key.New list entries are added to the bottom of the list. Chronologically ordered lists should be ordered from the earliest to the latest.If an image is too wide or tall, it would be automatically scaled.
