Computer Bytes - No. 6 What are bookmarks? Bookmarks - often referred to as 'Favorites' - are a means of saving Internet sites you want to remember or use often. Having a list of Favorites will eliminate needless repetitive searching and typing. You can further organize your Favorites by using folders within the Favorites file. The use of folders will allow you to sort your favorite 'bookmarked' sites by subject, location, etc, using an easy to remember name. Folders allow you to access your favorite sites without searching through a long list of bookmarked names that are in no particular order. Another benefit to having bookmarked your favorite sites is that you can assign a name of your choosing that is easy for you to remember. Meaning if you have a favorite site that is named 'XYZ Green Method' which is about how to take care of your lawn, you may want to re-name your Favorite - 'Lawn Care'. This name will make more sense when looking through your Favorites than trying to remember what 'XYZ Green Method' references. Note: Re-naming, adding to or changing the Favorite's name will not have any effect on linking to the site. To add a web-site to your Favorites you must be connected to the Internet and on the site you want to bookmark. While viewing the site click the 'Favorite' icon on the tool bar - an action box will pop-up. Inside this box is where you can change the name, add the site to a specific folder or create a new folder. Once you have created your list of Favorites, you can go in to the list at any time to organize, re-arrange, re-name or delete un-used or obsolete links.
