Although URLs are frustrating to work with, there is an easy to return to a URL resource. Nearly all of the Internet Web browsers today have a feature which is like an automated address book. Some browsers call it “Book Marking” others call it “Hot Listing”, in both cases the effect is the same.

Bookmarking allows you to grab a copy of a URL and store it so that you can easily go back to the site at a future time.

Understanding the action of book marking, the definition of a bookmark becomes obvious. A bookmark is a Web page tag or reference that you place in a list that can be accessed later to return to the URL.

Following are instructions for bookmarking (or hot listing) using several popular internet web browsers:

• Netscape’s Navigator (Version 2.0x and 3.0x)
  1. Go to the First page of the site you want to reference
  2. Select BookMarks >> Add Bookmark from the main menu

• Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (Version 2.0x and 3.0x)
  1. Go to the First page of the site you want to reference
  2. Select Favorites >> Add to Favorites from the main menu

• Spry’s Mosaic (Version 4.00.xx)
  1. Go to the First page of the site you want to reference
  2. Select Navigate >> Add Web page to Hot list or click on the ADD button on the button bar.

As you can see, adding URLs to a browser are relatively easy. All require the same basic action -- go to the URL resource that you want to add to the list. Once you are at the resource, add it to the Bookmark or Hot list.
