Bookmarking Your Favorite Sites

The history list helps you keep track of sites you like. History's Go menu, however, keeps track of only about a dozen sites, and stores your wanderings only until you end a session. The History window is helpful and detailed, but it tracks all the sites you have typed in, not just the ones you like.

If you want to save the location of a favorite page or if you want to visit certain pages often, you'll want to create bookmarks for those pages. Bookmarks are saved on the Bookmark list until you decide to delete them.

Bookmarks and bookmark folders are arranged like folders and files on your hard drive. The easiest way to access bookmarks is by using the Bookmarks menu.

On Windows systems, hold down the Bookmarks button on the Location toolbar to view the list of bookmarks.
On the Mac, select Bookmarks from the Navigator menu bar to see the list of bookmarks.

You can then select any bookmark from the list to visit that web page.

You Try It: Create a Bookmark

Go to the page you want to bookmark (for example, www.nasa.gov). You can bookmark a page for which you typed the URL into the Location field, or you can bookmark a page you visited by clicking a link.
Hold down the Bookmarks button on the location toolbar and select Add Bookmark to add a bookmark for the current page to the bottom of the Bookmarks menu.

or
Press Ctrl+D (Command+D on the Mac) to add a bookmark instantly. Open the Bookmarks menu and you'll see your bookmark filed at the bottom of the list.

	Tips for New Users
