Bookmark Bar

Do you have your favorite and most used sites saved in your Google search history, on a sheet, or bookmarked on your browser? Me too.

Have you tried to use a OneTab filter system so it looks like there’s only one browser open, but then found your baby (laptop) is running on high because those tabs are still actually running? Me too.

What I didn’t realize was that I could have all my most visited sites on my one browser, in plain site, and simplify how my bookmark looks, making it easier to use.

As you know, a bookmark bar isn’t the bar you go to to read books and drink a cocktail. It a place our eyes always land when we live in the land of computer work.

I can’t take credit for this trick. I did read it in someone’s tech tip blog a few months ago and partially implemented it right after I read it, and then tightened it up in the last couple of weeks.

Here’s what I’ve done to simplify what’s on my screen, yet give me the comfort of knowing it’s still there.

  1. Go to Bookmark Manager.
  2. Delete sites that aren’t in your top 10-15 most visited.
  3. Reaaraange the bookmarked sites into rank order of importance.
  4. Delete the name of the site.
  5. Browser result = horizontal line of symbols of your most used sites.

As much as I love words, they cluttered up my bookmark bar. We use symbols for a reason, and all the sites I use have recognizable symbols that make it easy to know which site are listed in my bookmark bar.

That’s it. It’s an easy to implement system. And one you can tecah your family and students.
