Bingley - wish I'd known about this before I lost the lot a month ago!

(Taureans don't do backups.) Well, they didn't use to anyway!

Dear Stales,

The cool thing about Bingley's site is, when you register, the site machinery (!) will, if you ask it to, automatically copy all your bookmarks.

Technamazed,
WordWow!

Having had several hard disks go West, but despising Windows backup, I created a Word97 file stored in My Documents for URLs I wanted to revisit. I have four pages of URLs, now, and periodically copy them to a 3 1/2 floppy safe from hard disk disaster. From there I edit,copy, edit, paste them into Location box.

The first two times I clicked on your link, I got taken to my ISP's Home Page...very strange. Finally I copied your link and pasted it in the address box, and that worked. Now, my embarrassing question: um...ok...I got all my favorites over there (whew, just checked--they're still here--I was worried they might be transferred, not just copied!), but...now that I've closed that window, how do I get back to it? I mean, months from now, maybe I'll want them and I won't be at this computer. Am I just supposed to remember the address? (I know, I'm hopeless.)

Dear Jackie,

I wondered the same thing, but then returned to Bingley's post and thought, "Hmmmm, mybookmarks.com ... that's pretty easy to remember." So, say "mybookmarks.com" three times and click your mouse's highheels together three times--there's no place like homing in on your bookmarks!

Best regards,
DubDorothy

Easy-- just put it in your favorites list! [EG]

Dear Jackie,

I just noticed yesterday that the icon for mybookmarks.com is at the bottom of my screen along with the MSN butterfly, the AOL yellow running guy, and the Yahoo smiling face. Do you see the blue ribbon bookmark icon for mybookmarks.com there at the bottom of your screen?

Bookmark regards,
Wordwind

No. Sigh. I've also lost some of the icons that used to be there. The only one I can recall, because I miss it, is the Show Desktop one. For the life of me, I cannot get them back. I've gone to Help--no help. It looks as though all I need to do is move the cursor over the spot till it becomes a double arrow, then click and drag, but nothing happens! Argh! So if the blue ribbon is with these icons that used to be there, I don't know that I'll ever see it. Thanks, anyway.


Edit--Hey, I got 'em back! Right-clicked, then happened to finally find what I needed. Still no blue ribbon. And--
Welcome, semperon!
