Step
10: "Favorites" or "Bookmarks"
The
"Favorites" menu (or the "Favorites" button)
is one of the most useful and most used parts of your browser. Some
browsers such as Netscape Navigator also call it "Bookmarks",
because it's a bit like putting a bookmark in an important page
of a book to make it easy to find again.
When
you've been to an interesting site, you don't have to scribble down
its Web address and re-type it each time you want to go there again.
Instead, simply add it to your Favorites/Bookmarks (using the "Add"
function in the Favorites or Bookmarks menu).
This
makes life on the Web a lot easier, but remember that as you keep
adding sites to this list, your bookmarks can soon become quite
long. Then you will need to prune them back, and/or organise them
into separate subdirectories or folders. In the Favorites or Bookmarks
menu, choose "Organize Favorites" (or "Edit Bookmarks"
in Netscape Navigator) to do this.
