Bookmarks and Favorites
With hundreds of millions of websites and more coming online daily, you will undoubtedly find ones you want to revisit. Bookmarks and Favourites allow you to save Web addresses so you can return or revisit them quickly, without having to retype them. Whether you are using Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome or any other browser, the procedure is similar.
To save a web page, go to Bookmarks or Favourites on the menu bar and click on Add to... When you open your list, the title of the page you added will appear at the bottom of the list. To access the page, double-click on the title.
Put Your Links in OrderAfter a while you will discover that you have got dozens of bookmarks. It's now time to organize them into folders.
If you use Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0 click on Favourites on the menu bar to open the Favourites window. Now select Organize Favourites. Click the New Folder button to create a folder, and then name it. We suggest organising your bookmarks in folders by subjects, such as Sports, Travel, News, Games, etc. Now click on each Favourite once, hold down your left mouse button and drag the Favourite into the appropriate subject folder.
With Firefox 2.0 or later, click on Bookmarks on the menu bar to open the Bookmarks window. Now select Organise Bookmarks. Click the New Folder button to create a folder, name it, click on each Bookmark once, hold down your left mouse button and drag it into the subject folders.
Renaming Links
Sometimes the names of the bookmarks are not descriptive, so you may want to alter them. With Explorer, open the Favourites window, then right-click the Favourite to change. Select Rename from the pop-up menu and type a new name.
