Hey Shary - Excellent progress so far! You can edit your original list when you want to add a new title if you want, instead of creating a new list each time you want to add a title. Might make it easier on you.

If you just look at the bottom right-hand corner of your post, you'll see a little edit toggle. Click that and you can edit your original post to add your updates.

Thanks Charity! That will make things easier!
