With, literally, millions of available Web pages, it is easy to see why you should mark your favorite pages or ones that you need to revisit. Bookmarks serve that purpose. The Location Toolbar contains your list of bookmarks.
By clicking on the Bookmarks button, you see an entire list of bookmarks that have been saved. Another possibility is to have an entire toolbar dedicated to bookmarks, such as the one shown below. Netscape calls this your Personal Toolbar.
The advantage here is that you can drag a location down to the Bookmark Toolbar and have that site permanently available. As an example, we will drag the site shown above (the ITL home site) onto the Bookmark Toolbar. To do this, simply click-and-drag the icon to the left of the word "Location" down to a spot on the Bookmark toolbar. Click here to see a video of this.
Another way of quickly making a bookmark to the current page is by right-clicking anywhere in the background of the current page and choosing Add Bookmark from the popup-menu.
Or click on the Bookmarks folder (on the location bar) and choose Add Bookmark.
Over time, you will collect too many interesting URLs to keep them all on the personal toolbar or in the main bookmarks folder. Netscape allows you to organize bookmarks into folders, just like files are put into folders to keep them neatly organized. You can also rename bookmarks, as the default names are often not descriptive enough.
All this is done by clicking the bookmarks folder and choosing Edit Bookmarks. A window opens showing a tree of bookmarks similar to Windows Explorer's filetree.
You can rename a bookmark by clicking on its name, then typing a new name and hitting Return. To see where the bookmark points, right-click it and choose Bookmark Properties. From the File menu, you can add separators and new folders (name them right away).
If you put a bookmark into the Personal Toolbar Folder, it will show up on your personal toolbar for quick access. You can also make folders there. Netscape comes prepared with some folders here; note how their icon is different than those of plain bookmarks.
