Bookmarklets

My definition of bookmarklets is a quick, easy connection to my frequently used sites

We all use our Favourite list but Bookmarklets saves having to scroll down list and open folders such as Search Folder to select the search engine which you prefer.

How to create them is easy.

First ensure that you have a Links Toolbar By selecting View from the Internet Toolbar Then click Toolbars And ensure that Links has a tick/check against it.

Next place you cursor on the Colon in front of it and drag it down and over to the left-hand side of the page. This will then give you a toolbar across the page entitled Links.

Now go to :- Favourites, and select one of your most frequently used URLs Then when the Web page opens select Favourites again and choose Add to Favourites. This will put up a window displaying your Favourites Scroll down to the Entry Links. Select Links and press OK. (If the Links folder is not displayed, press Create in <<<. Then select the Links folder and press OK.)

You may have to wait a second, but the Favourite ,which you have chosen will appear in the Links Toolbar. Note:- If the Favourite has a long name it is advisable to right-click the name in the Links toolbar and select Re-name, and type an abbreviated one. This will allow you to have more Bookmarklets on your Links Toolbar.

In front of the name there will be an Icon this indicates whether for example it is a Firefox, or an Internet Explorer Bookmarklet. The problem is that although most Bookmarklets work with all browsers some are selective.
