How to organize my bookmarks
It made me
I'm glad it's done.
 "A loooooooong journey. The price to pay for making some 800-900 odd links to tread through since before I was twelve years old."
How I did it: One by one by one by one...... Lessons & tips: Be vicious. If you're not sure something really needs to be kept, chances are you'll be able to find it again if that moment arrives. Organization only works if it helps you be more productive.

How I did it: I just sat down and if I didn't know what it was by the link name I zapped it. This only took 2-3 hours and was well worth the effort. I now know what I've got and exactly where it is in my bookmark folders. Read how I did it…

Very happy!
How I did it: Added all my bookmarks (all freaking 1200+ of them) to Delicious and kept only the ones I used all the time in my bookmarks. But then I missed my other ones. I may not visit them all the time, but I want them around when I do feel like checking them out again. So I imported them to Opera...I've found the easiest way to organize the bookmarks is through Opera, because of the "Open in background tab" feature, which enabled me to easily chec… Read how I did it…

How I did it: A folder for Work and a folder for Personal, with many subcategories to Personal. Both folders sit on my toolbar along with 10 frequently used links (email, RSS reader, Facebook etc.) Everything's on the toolbar rather than the bookmarks menu, which is empty. Finally I shared my bookmarks between my machines using Xfire, so that I've got the same set on each user account, updated automatically. Read how I did it…

I’m going to stop saving bookmarks directly to my Safari, because I have way too many of them and it’s impossible to keep them organised. So from now on I’ll save them in to Delicious.com. I just have to make sure I tag everything efficiently and all my favorite websites will be so much easier to find.
I will have to go through all my old bookmarks and get them in to Delicious as well. That’ll be A LOT of work! :)
About time.

I set this computer up in late December and have bookmarked about 970 links since then. I never thought I had that many although it was getting tedious to scroll through. Only took an hour to sort them into 8 folders.
Now to import the bookmarks from my old computer.

Even though it’s not at the top of my list, I’m actually making headway on this :D , mainly due to doing a bit at a time whenever I’m at the computer.
So far:- Have deciphered the Firefox organization panel
- Started using separators in the menu to divide folder types
- Shifted a load of bookmarks to their correct folders, to be sorted later

the only thing I’m bookmarking in Firefox is what’s on the tool bar – everything else goes into google bookmarks – the tricky part is figuring out the organization in g bookmarks – it’s not that intuitive – just need to get into the “weeds” to do this activity. ugh..

Firefox upgraded their browser, and the bookmark organization tool is completely indecipherable to me.
Sort of there...

I’ve been putting this off forever. I found my delicious account password and decided to upload everything onto there so when I move and buy a new laptop I can access everything.

I organized most of my bookmarks while listening to the debates.
