So ...

Once you have configured and saved your glossary settings, you are ready to start adding glossary terms and their definition.

Go to CM Tooltip Glossary => Add New to add a new glossary term.

First, you'll have to provide a title for your glossary term. Then you can write the actual description in the text editor. Finally, click the "Publish" button:


And that's all ... You can add as many glossary terms as you want. They will be automatically arranged in the alphabetical order on your glossary page.

After adding all your terms, you can visit the glossary page using the URL you defined in the general settings.

Here's the live result in my case after adding a few terms:


Simple and efficient, isn't it? When you have a lot of glossary terms, then your readers can click on any alphabet or numerical value to easily view the specific term on the dictionary page.

And the really cool thing about this plugin: once you have created a glossary, any included term will be automatically highligted and explained (a tooltip will appear on mouse hovering) in your post/page content:


And that's it my friends!

I think this is a fantastic tool! I have been thinking about adding a glossary to one of my sites, but I did it manually a couple years ago on a different site and what a pain that was! And it did not turn out as nice as I had hoped.

So this one DOES allow you to type in your own definitions for terms, say if you are in a niche that is not exactly public knowledge posted on Wikileaks?

I did watch the tutorial before I asked the question but the part where you described that wasn't 100% clear - not for me anyway.

You say we can ask questions, so don't just assume someone was able to get all they needed from how YOU explained things.

Think I will try this on the website I'M doing WA style, once I get a couple dozen posts or so.
