Safari 4.0 in the wild - #8 - Adding and Managing Bookmarks in Safari 4.0

Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome back to our special butterscotch.com 10 part series on Safari.

In this segment, we’re going to look briefly at bookmarks because there's quite a bit you can do with bookmarks so we’re going to do it in two parts. In this segment, we’re going to look at adding and creating bookmarks and in the next segment, we’ll look at moving and synchronizing bookmarks.

So here in Safari, I have four tabs open and one cool feature in Safaris bookmarks is that you can right click on one of the tabs and you can say add a bookmark for these four tabs. So, say you're opened up to four or five or six or 10 tabs that you go to all the time or that you're using for work or school, you can say add bookmark for these four tabs. You can give it a name, scroll, you can determine if it goes to the bookmarks bar, bookmarks menu, bookmarks bar and say add and here it is school. Now, if all of these sites are closed, just click school and here is all of our four tabs open again, very handy feature.

In addition, you can also add bookmarks. Let's go to Facebook. From here, click bookmarks, add bookmark. You can put in what you wanted to say. You can have it be in top sites which we've covered in the previous episode. In the bookmarks bar, click add and there you go. You can go here to the bookmark icon and click it. You can see your history. You can see what's in the bookmark bar and you can drag and drop to organize your bookmark bar. So, if you don’t like that there, you can move it up here. There's our school tab, we’re going to bring the news down here, butterscotch at the top. We can look at the bookmarks menu, we can look at our RSS feed. So, we can move all of these things and organize and add bookmarks through drag and drop.

So for example, if we wanted to just add this, we can drag it down and drop it. Complete control over your bookmark is very easy to add bookmarks, create groups of bookmarks and very easy to manage them and move them around inside of Safari. Keep in mind this is a multiple part series and be sure to watch all 10 parts.
