"To paraphrase Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver: "We all gotta get organizized." Otherwise, how will our Web site team know where to put all our content?" -- Bob Doyle in EContent (http://www.econtentmag.com/)
If you’re like the rest of us, you bookmark sites that you want to revisit at some time in the future. After a while, you begin to organize your bookmarks into categories, with names based on terms that make sense to you.
Before you know it, you have 2000 bookmarked sites neatly organized in your “Favorites.”
What happens when your computer crashes? Or when you buy a new laptop? Or when you want to access your bookmarks on a friend’s computer?
There are several solutions but here is the one that works for me. …
Step One: Save your bookmarks
If you have never saved your bookmarks before, here are the steps to follow. In your browser …
File --> Import/Export -->Export to a file--> Favorites--> [Click Next]--> [Browse to the folder you wish to save your bookmarks to, and type in a file name for your bookmarks]--> [Click Export]
Step Two: Save your bookmark file to an external source
You can copy it to a thumb drive. Or you can send it as an attachment in an email to yourself. If you have a Gmail account, you might want to send yourself an email to that account. If there is anything in your bookmark file that you consider confidential or sensitive in any sense, you might prefer to copy it to a thumb drive. Either way, you now have a copy of your valuable bookmark file that you can use in case you do not have access to your own computer.
