Highlighting is another useful feature that can help you track sweepstakes with Diigo. Diigo lets you select text on a page and highlight it, just as you might highlight text that you want to remember in a book.

To do so, select the text you want to highlight (for more information, see How to Select Text from the About Windows Guide). Then click on the Diigolet button to bring up the options bar at the top of your browser window, then click on the "Highlight" button. Sure enough, the text will be highlighted.

If you would like to leave a sticky note as well as a highlight, hover your mouse over the highlighted text and choose the sticky note option.

How Highlighting with Diigo Can Help Track Sweepstakes

If you go to a sweepstakes list, like my Sweepstakes by Expiration Date page, you can highlight the sweepstakes that you've already reviewed. Leave sticky notes for the sweeps that you want to return to enter daily.

When you return to the page the next day, you can easily see whether any new sweepstakes have been added (because they won't be highlighted). You can also see the ones you want to enter again by simply hovering your mouse over the highlighted area and reading your reminder.
