How to Share a Personal History Manager
Every time you visit a website, your Internet browser keeps a record of the link to the site in a history file. The history manager of your browser lets you view, arrange, save, delete and share websites that are stored in the manager. You can set up the history manager to store visited links for one day, one week or 30 days or longer. Sort links in the history manager by date visited, or alphabetically. Share a personal history with others by saving the site names and links in a document.
