How to Bookmark Web Pages in IE

Virtually bookmark your favorite Web pages.

The signal-to-noise ratio on the Internet is pretty low. At it's worst, it seems like there are hundreds of hastily thrown together blogs or free personal pages with bright, blinking text for every decent website you can find. But every now and again you find a jewel among the trash -- a mind-blowing, shining example of everything a website should be, or at least the kind of website you want to visit again. Internet Explorer lets you bookmark Web pages so you can easily find them again.
