| Sometimes it
seems like there are so many great sites out there, there's no way
to keep track of them all! Your browser has a way to save all your
favorite sites and keep them ready for to use with a single click.
When you "bookmark" a site it gets added to a list your browser
saves for you. (Bookmarks are the same as
Favorites - it just depends what browser you are using).
Using a World Wide Web browser,
a bookmark is a saved link to a Web page that has been added to a
list of saved links. When you are looking at a particular Web site
or home page and want to be able to quickly get back to it later,
you can create a bookmark for it. You can think of your browser as a
book full of (millions of ) Web pages and a few well-placed
bookmarks that you have chosen. The list that contains your
bookmarks is the "bookmark list" (and sometimes it's called a "hotlist.")
Netscape and some other browsers use the bookmark idea. Microsoft's
Internet Explorer uses the term "favorite." |
