 Keeping Track of your favorite Web Sites using Favorites/Bookmarks

BookmarksFavorites (Internet Explorer) and Bookmarks (Netscape) are the terms used for web sites a person wants to keep a record of and visit again easily. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape offer the ability to add favorite web sites to the computer for easy revisiting. Note:  The AOL browser may not have these options. If you are an AOL subscriber, you may want to install  Internet Explorer or Netscape on your computer to allow you the full range of options. You would connect to the Internet via AOL, minimize or close the AOL browser, then open the Internet Explorer or Netscape.

There are also a number of free programs that allow individuals to store their favorites (Internet Explorer) or bookmarks (Netscape) on the Internet. Once an account is set up, it can be accessed from any computer connected to the Internet.

If you use multiple computers, have a fear of losing your bookmarks from a computer crash, or are upgrading your computer, you may want to consider backing up your favorites on the Internet. Most of these services are offered free in exchange for showing you advertisements while you are accessing your account. You do not have to visit any of the advertisers or buy from them.

Many start up page services allow you to add bookmarks to your personalized start up page.  This may be adequate if you only have a few bookmarks, but adding a bookmark to your start up page is much slower than a bookmarking service.
