Joy of Access: Bookmarks On The Web

If you do a lot of web browsing, you can get lost very easily. That’s what “bookmarks” are for. They allow you to keep a list of sites that you think you’ll want to come back to.

On graphical web browsers, there is a menu just for adding and using bookmarks. Unix uses keys, of course, rather than menus.

Once you get a lot of bookmarks, you can also organize them into folders: and you’ll want to. It does you no good to have your favorite sites held in bookmarks when you can’t find anything in your list of 100 bookmarks. Netscape and Explorer both allow you to “edit” your bookmarks, creating folders and moving bookmarks into those folders. I recommend that you do this every time your bookmarks extend off the bottom of your computer screen.
