I organized my bookmarks.

First time! :party:

1. Me too! I now rule the world with a click. What web browser do you use?

[Neoma]

6. Firefox.

[Kat45]

2. I wouldn't even know how to begin doing that, but I'd like to.

How do you do it and is it a pain in the ass?

[henslee]

5. Hey, read my post below to Bikewriter.

[Neoma]

7. Yes and no.

Just make a bunch of folders and put the similar ones in them.

Like, one for religion, one for education, one for handy crap....

[BikeWriter]

3. Crap, I have thousands!

:cry:

[henslee]

4. What browser do you use BW? Maybe we can help Not my prez get

get started. Myself, I basically use firefox and keep a bunch of folders on a bookmark toobar across the top of my page which I save my links to. I imagine if you have 1000 bookmarks, you have a method. Do share.

If I were you NMP, I'd just name a bunch of folders to fit your links....like music, news, etc.... even name one "bookmarks to file". And then when you save a new bookmark, you use the "save to" option and save right to a spec. folder. So you are always organized. Soemtimes, you will be in a rush and the unfiled links will pile up and you do it all at once.

I keep my folders across the top of my page as i mentioned. Soetimes I save an important bookmark right to the toolbar -- not to a folder on the toolbar.

I'm sure many folks just click on the "bookmarks" heading and their list of bookmarks drops down.

And be sure and group your folders/bookmarksin in a way that makes sense for you. And folders can have sub folders and sub sub folders. It's real trial and error. In my music folder. I'll have a subfolder like "playlists, and in playlists, I'll have a sub sub folder of blues playlists. etc.

Anyway, NMP, i have to go but do give organizing bookmarks a try! And BW, do feel free to share some cool bookmarks!

8. I have firefox.

But i have my folders at the bottom not at top.

9. Do you use scrapbook extension? When I save a bookmark, if its special, I

try and save it to my scrapbook too. and I try and name it the same. It's amazing how many links I had saved were dead... and info I wanted was lost forever.

Every once in a while I export a copy of my bookmarks list to my email. I haven't quite figured out how to save a copy of my scrapbook urls to a folder.

There is a book I want to get called: Ambient Findability : What We Find Changes Who We Become: Books: Peter Morville. It sounds very interesting.

10. I own a geo-cities website and i stuffed alot of links there once.

When firefox kept deleting my bookmarks once upon a time.

Not sure i know what you mean by scrapbook extension.

[henslee]

11. Firefox lost some of my BM's too. Hasn't happened in a long time....

Anyway, scrapbook is a great firefox extension (an add-on little program that you can dl and customize your FF. It is a great, speedy way to capture any web page, photo or even a paragraph of text from a website and it will keep this new stuff in scrapbook folder. You can make folders and subfolders. I haven't even scratched the surface regarding knowing how to use it. Anyway, here is a link for it. Not sure if this is the best dl page for it but you can dl somewhere. Get latest version.

Also, I have this other extension i dl'd called All in one sidebar (6.4) that i find helpful. I think you can find all these extensions by googling firefox extensions.

12. Do you have stumbleupon?

[henslee]

13. No but funny you shouldmention it, I just visited that website today, it

has been recommended by a few folks. I didnt know there was an extension. Ihave a nice dictionary ext. that i use by just clicking any word on a web page twice and it will give me a definition. I dont have many other extensions.

Did you dl the firefox upgrade that just came out? I did but for some reason, ever since, my Ff has freezed up 3x but not too seriously. 2x it unfroze. Bummed me out. It was running so nice before that.

[Neoma]

14. Show me the link to the dictionary ext. that you're talking about.

[henslee]

15. It is on this page.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1171/

Its been a dream for me....never had a problem with it but... i did read in the comments at the aboce site that someone did have a little weirdness.

[Neoma]

16. THAT is handy!

[henslee]

17. I dont mess around...... (Glad you liked it)

The dream program i am looking for and I know its out there...is a simple way to click record and organize audio streams and playlists. As it is... I am all over the place. I use a free program called audacity but I am not in love with it. My friends use protools but I feel its overkill for me.

19. I used the Import and export function on IE to reload favorites...

the last time I did a Factory Restore. If I were to attempt rearranging mine I think I'd do it elsewhere in windows, then import them back into a clean IE.

[Omphaloskepsis]

18. I only have about 10 local bookmarks....

But, I have 1518 on http://del.icio.us

I find it to be so much better. And I don't have to worry about losing them.
