Bookmarks: How many do you have?
Dennis & Karen Eichorst
How many stitching URLs do you have bookmarked? DH is *convinced* that
the Nescape crashes that he (and only he) has been experiencing are due
to my numerous bookmarks. He considers the 95 stitching/tatting ones to
be the real culprits. (He has a total of 84 bookmarks in all categories.
As it turns out, I have 190, all told.)
So, am I weird, having this many bookmarks? More importantly, can having
a lot of bookmarks cause Netscape to crash or freeze up?
TIA

bookmarks and the "miscellaneous" bookmarks.

To minimize bookmark-related Netscape crashes, close "Bookmarks" as soon
as it takes you where you want to go. This reduces the incidence of code
conflicts from various and sundry Web sites. PJ

I have several hundred bookmarks. Tell your DH to get a grip.

your Internet Service Provider not being able to handle it.

My DH is always worried about the available or should that be lack of
available space on the computer but he has not complained about the
number of bookmarks I have.
However I must say how surprised I have been at the number of sites I
booked marked back in 1996 that are no longer available, especially
stitching ones.
I am seriously considering a manual indexed notebook with headers such
as tassels then the relevant sites, because when I look into the
bookmarks it is hard to remember why a particular site is there.
Surfin' is good and fine but our online costs down-under are so
horrendous.

Well I have around 100 my DH only has about 10 he just ask me if I realy go to
all these sites. I told he yes. so he just shacks his head and left it there.
At least he knows where I am.

If you have deleted any---you should be compacting your filing cabinet once in
a while to reorganize the space. Also, make sure you cache is cleared
sometimes if you are going to mostly websites.

Just counted 132 stitching bookmarks. But now I'm concerned about what
I'm missing....

What browser do you use? With Internet Explorer you can make folders for
each "group" i.e. Tassels, Charts, Lessons, etc. and place the bookmark in
the appropriate one. If you have any questions, just e-mail me!

My old bookmarks file was so big it caused Netscape 2.0 to take up to a
minute to do anything, even when the bookmarks file was closed. I dumped
the file and now keep my URLs in two spreadsheet files, one for textiles
and one for everything else. They get additions practically every day,
and at the moment the big one, for textile-related sites, has 458.

The real problem has nothing to do with how many bookmarks you have. The cashe files, history and
cookies files must be emptied. Netscape is a disk pig. I use a program every few days to clear this
out and find that I have not had any problems since. The pros at worlndnet help forum suggested this
and now system runs great. If you are running more than one browser this compounds problem.

Gee, this thread has caused me to delurk!
Thanks for the info. I was beginning to think I was obsessive to have pages of
websites addresses that I have copied and printed out.

How do you put your bookmarks in a spreadsheet? I would be interested in
knowing how.

Nothing clever, Marilyn. I don't even bookmark in Netscape anymore. I
copy and paste from the newsgroup or the browser into a ClarisWorks
spreadsheet file. It usually gets printed out once a month or so.

What happened to the 15 messages re: "Bookmarks: How many do you have?"? I
just got through reading all of them & luckily I printed out a few of special
interest to me - I had to go offline to make a phone call - I came back - they
were all GONE! Since I'm new to RCTN, I'm not sure what's going on when posts
disappear. Are they supposed to disappear? And then I clicked on "List" to
see what would happen, & I got ONE of the 15 messages - possibly the last one.
Is this the way it's supposed to work?
I was just getting ready to ask, "What are BOOKMARKS?" I would like to
understand what these 15 messages were all about. Is "bookmarks" something I
should be concerned about? Please bear with me - I'm just learning.
Thanks for any info re: above,

The same is true for Netscape. I have all of my bookmarks in folders.
It makes it a lot easier to find sites.

Re: Lost messages
You probably have View set to Unread Messages Only. Check it out. If you
have any questions...e-mail me.
Bookmarks...You store a website address so that you don't have to Search for
it everytime (or rely on memory...which in my case wouldn't get me very
far...though Ginko is helping.) In MS Internet Explorer it is referred to
as Favorites.

I just counted my needlework sites and have 197. Have them in separate
folders, designers, freebies, needlepoint, crochet, plus more. Also have
over 200 genealogy sites plus lots more of other topics. I use Netscape,
have never had a problem and they load very quickly with a 14.4 modem. I
do backup my bookmarks and addresses on a floppie though as a friend
lost all hers once and I don't want that to happen.

I use Netscape Communicator and I have about 50 cross stitch sites in my Cross
Stitch folder. I rename them with a name that will help me remember why its
bookmarked. I also show the Web Site address which usually rings a bell for me.

Hi all,
I missed the first part of this thread, so perhaps
someone else has my method also..
I am a bookmark freak, and luckily (imho) stumbled onto
First Floor's Smart Bookmarks program some time ago..
I loved it so much that I actually bought it.. me, the freeware
supporter..
I currently have over 2100 bookmarks, 250 or so of those are
crosstitch.. one thing I love about Smart Bookmarks is that I can
set a monitor on any page and it alerts me for any changes on that page..
thus I get the scoop on sales, new free patterns etc. and each
bookmark's properties window has a big ol' window for notes to
remind me of all sorts of things about that site.. I keep my
screennames and passwords here for each, so it keeps track of those
too (saves me having a password program)... has import/export for
sharing bookmarks with friends... lots of nice features.. pretty easy to learn..
for me it is so much easier than my netscape bookmarks.. it has
saved me well over its cost in time spent checking up on sites
(esp. suppliers)..
if you would like to see it, their addy is (forgive my lack of a direct link here)
