So what is VoodooPad?

VoodooPad is a new kind of notepad. It's like having your own personal hypertext library, where you can jot down notes, web addresses, to-do lists... Anything on your mind. VoodooPad automatically links each page together, to form a miniature world wide web, on your desktop! Anybody familiar with the WikiWikiWeb will feel right at home with VoodooPad.

Type in your notes, and highlight important words or phrases to create new pages; or drag and drop folders, images, applications, or URLs into VoodooPad - they're linked up whenever the word representing it is found.

What can I use it for?

Use it for bits information that you want tucked away where you can easily get to it when you need it.

We've heard of people using VoodooPad For research projects, to help debug their programs, to build simple and quick websites, storing directions to friend's houses, and documentation projects. It's uses are endless- and since it's so easy to use you will find yourself being productive right away!

Tell me more about how it works.
VoodooPad is based on a simple idea of linking together internal pages of information with urls and files. You can drag and drop files into VoodooPad and they will be linked- and you can also type in common urls like http://www.apple.com/ and support@flyingmeat.com and they will be linked also.

Notice that the when you type the word "Index" anywhere on a page, it is a different color and underlined. Anytime you type in the word "Index" (or index - it's not case sensitive), it will automatically highlight because a page entitled Index is already in your VoodooPad document. And any time you click on the Index link it will take you to that page. You can also highlight any other word, and choose "Make Link" from the Edit menu, or hit Command-L to make that word highlighted the same way.

It's easy to make a new page- just hit Command-N and enter it, or type the title of the page you would like to create and link it by hitting Command-L while it's selected, or click on it if it is underlined.

You may notice that some words appear with underlines, but are not highlighted blue. These are words that are "potential links" (also known as wiki-words), but have not yet had a page created for them. Clicking on the link will create a new page, and change the color of the link to blue (unless you have changed the color in the preferences).
