How to Bookmark a Web Page

Video Transcript

"Hi, Michael Burton, with michaelburtonfilms.org, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. We're here to talk about internet essentials. Now, I want to talk to you about how to bookmark a web page. Bookmarking a web page is very, very simple. Let's go ahead and open our internet. Now you also, on Internet Explorer, you have your Favorites list, up here in the upper left hand corner, that has a star. Just so you know, that you can go on and you can save quick links to those websites, right there under your favorites. Now up here, you can see, right here next to settings, that there's an option for Bookmarks. That's how we're going to bookmark a page, so for example, if we were to go to: www.eHow.com. Now, once we're at this web page, if we want to save this web page under our Bookmarks, like we want to bookmark this website. What we'll do, is we come over here, to where it says Bookmarks, and in the drop down menu, we click on Save this page. What it's going to do, is it's going to bring up this. It's bringing up under Yahoo! for me, because that's my current provider. It's Yahoo! Bookmarks, so it's asking, the title is the title of the website, and right now, we don't have any other folders created. You can click right here on this folder tab, and you can add a new folder right now. I'm just going to keep it under Uncategorized. The description is an Informational Web Page, and we're going to go ahead, and click Save, down at the bottom. Now, what this does, is it saves a bookmark in our Bookmarks page, which is a completely separate page. It's not like your Favorites, so now if we want to scroll up to where it says Bookmarks, and do the drop down list. You can see under Recently Saved, we have eHow.com saved, as well as templatemonster.com, which I saved a little while ago. We can go down to our quick list, if we prefer, if we have anything in there, and under our Uncategorized folder, it will show the two web pages that we have saved in our Uncategorized folder. If we want to go to our Bookmarks, right here, where it says Go to Bookmarks. You click on that, and this will show you all the bookmarks that you have. You have different options. You can add more. You can edit these ones. You can move them. You can delete them, but here they are showing up right here, and all we have to do is click on one of them, and it automatically links us to that web page, right here in the Yahoo! Bookmarks."
