Try to keep your bookmarks "organized" when using Netscape

Netscape provides a hierarchical ordering for your bookmarks. I typically just "Bookmarks/Add Bookmark" from the task bar, a lot, and then every couple of weeks try to sit down and organize them, using the "Bookmarks/Edit Bookmarks" entry. Don't put off organizing/categorizing things. Netscape does not like you to "edit" your bookmarks.html file, although it is located in your file space in the .netscape directory from your root directory. (~stewart/.netscape/bookmarks.html on the Unix machine we use for classes as SDSU)

You need to find ways to characterize information that works for you. If you happen to use Mac or PC labs on campus, you can bring in a diskette and save your bookmarks on the diskette. Oh course in the Xterm Lab, this is not an option, but I'd still invite you to examine the control you have over your bookmarks by selecting Bookmarks from the task bar and then Edit Bookmarks, where you can now

    File
  1. Open
  2. Import
  3. Save as <<<---- save to your diskette on Mac or PC
  4. Close
    Edit [I don't tend to use this much]
    Item
  1. Properties [you can add more information once bookmark is selected]
  2. Insert Folder [begin to build the hierarchy]
  3. Insert Separator [clarify by "separating"]

Also, you can always read the documentation for Netscape under the Help entry from the task bar and examine the wealth of information available there.
