A typical Bookmarks Bar in the Firefox browser

Turn on your Browser Bookmarks Bar

Most browsers have one of their most useful features - the Bookmarks Bar - turned OFF by default.This generally means that you are not aware of its existence and so cannot benefit from its timesaving.

What is a browser "Bookmark"? - an item on some kind of list, put there by the user - YOU - to enable a quick return to a useful web page by just a single click, with no typing.

Your browser bookmarks are typically a dropdown list, capable of being arranged into folders, should you wish.

However, the best way to organise your most frequently-used bookmarks is to put them on the Bookmarks Bar, which is a horizontal list near the top of your screen.

Before you can use this, you need to make it visible!

The method varies with the particular browser that you use. Stick with one browser, so that your bookmarks are all in one place!

When you have the Bookmarks Bar turned on, go back to www.helpwithpc.org.uk and bookmark it by clicking the star on the RH end of the address bar, bookmark-star saving it on your Bookmarks Bar (Choose Folder . . .).
