The Special Education teacher that I co-teach with noticed my bookmarks and asked about it. She later said she loves it now that she has done it, so I thought this might be something worth sharing. First of all, I use Firefox primarily as my web browser, but I'm sure this can be adapted for any browser.
For my commonly used websites, I save them to my bookmarks toolbar. However, I quickly ran out of space. So I started abbreviating the names to save space. Then, I noticed that if I deleted the preset page name altogether, just the favicon would be added to my toolbar. Now I have many sites on my toolbar, and still have some room. I bet you can recognize many of my bookmarked sites just by the favicon.
So, next time you want to save a bookmark to your toolbar, just change the drop down choice to "bookmark toolbar" and delete the name. See below.
Happy Thursday everyone. I did it! Made a post in about 20 minutes:)
Mary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I also create folders on my bookmark bar so I can save space by grouping similar types of sites.

Great tip, Mary. Things do get a little crowded up in the tool bar. I guess that's why I bought a 24" wide monitor at home. More real estate! I'll definitely follow this blog, too. Its right up my alley.
