Tired of typing all of the links in on your webpage? Me too. I found a shortcut…

Create folders in your Favorites for your website (i.e. “Useful Web Links”) Surf the internet for your version of useful links and book mark them in your new folder. After you find all the sites you could possibly want on your website, click the “favorites” button at the top of your browser. A side bar on the left should open up with all of your saved websites including your new folder. Open your folder and look at the names of the sites you saved. Some of them will not look right or just have a lot of garbage instead of a real name for the link. Right-click the link and click “Rename” Give your link a new name that better describes the content and you may want to shorten some of the names.

Now you will want to export these. In the top left of your browser you will see the word “file”, click so and drop down to “Import and Export”

The wizard will walk you thru a few steps. Key things to remember on these steps are

Export Favorites
Select the new folder that you previously created
“browse” the location that you save this file (So you know where to find it later)
If you don’t change the file…it will be call “bookmark.htm”

Now open the file you just exported. Open up the “My System” webpage and go to the manage content page. Click on “page” The editor page should be open and you can now. Go to your “bookmark” file and highlight all of the links on that page. COPY it and then paste in your Webpage editor. Click apply at the bottom and you should now have a links page on your web site with all of your useful links.
