Would you like to make this site your homepage? It's fast and easy...
Yes, Please make this my home page!
One
of the best features present in most Web browsers, including Netscape
Navigator, is the ability to bookmark Web pages, Websites
or URLs. Netscape's bookmarks are simililar to the bookmarks you'd
use with a printed book. In both cases, they are used to "mark"
places so that you can easily return to them at a later time.
As
you surf the Internet, you'll likely find Web pages or sites that
you really like. If you bookmark them, you can go to them later
with a click of your mouse. If you don't bookmark them, you'll
likely have to spend some time searching for them or have to retype
the URL each time you want to visit the pages again.
Creating a bookmark
- Browse the Web page
you wish to bookmark. (Practice with this page.)
- Click the Bookmarks menu and then click Add Bookmark. You can also type "APPLE"+"D"
on your keyboard.
- Click again on the
Bookmarks menu. You should see a bookmark
(the title of the Web page) of the current Web page added to
the bottom of the list.
Faster Bookmarking
- For a quicker way
to bookmark Web pages or sites that you're currently viewing,
simply double-click on the Bookmark
icon (
)
located next to the Location Bar. See image below for details.

Viewing a bookmarked
page
- When you want to see
a page you've bookmarked, simply click the Bookmarks menu, then click the bookmark
of the page you want to view. It should load in your Navigator
window.

Tip: Although
bookmarks are easy to make, they could soon overwhelm you if
you don't keep them organized. Learn how to organize
your bookmarks!
