exporting/importing favorites

If I want access to them from any computer, I bookmark them in "My Yahoo". I understand that this is not an answer to your question, but it is my work-around.

rog- How do you do that? I would like to do the same thing.

When you export your IE favorites you can specify a file location to save it to. Then it will save the bookmarks as an HTML file.

I am not sure if Safari will import said file.

Oh.

Phoenix, what I've been doing is opening the favorite and copying the URL. In my yahoo home page there is a bookmark option, with "Add" as a sub option. I pick that, and there it is. I often rename it. That's another option.

For the security conscious, bookmarks are supposed to be bad because they are not stored on your own disc. Favorites are.

Roger- OY- One at a time? I would be sitting at the computer for weeks copying. I thought that there might be some way to bookmark them in one fell swoop. Thanks, anyhow!

OK, I took the easy way out. I exported my favorites to my Documents, and then copied them onto a floppy. The reason that I was interested, was because I may be getting a new computer soon, and I didn't want to lose my favorites!



Please explain. In the meantime, I'll delete the bookmark file, since I have the stuff on the floppy.

I've only heard that it's possible for an outsider to learn the sites you visit from your bookmarks. I'm not at all sure anyone really cares.

Maybe sometime I should publish my bookmarks and see who stays awake through the list.

Phoenix,

You did the right thing (except deleting the file, which is unecessary).

Roger is talking about saving your sites to a remote service. The terms "favorites" and "bookmarks" are really interchangeable and not a distiction between remotely saved sites and locally saved sites. I think that might have caused some confusion.

Craven- Thanks for the explanation. I really don't need the favorites in My Documents, 'cause I already have them in my favorites.
