<<I need a database of things I might find useful in the future and where
I read it>>
Well...if the stuff you read is on websites, you can just add them to your
favorites, then in IE, go to the File menu and choose Import and Export and
use the wizard to "Export your favorites"...this will put all of your
favorites in an html file with all of the links...then you can open this
file in FrontPage or even Word and add descriptive text to all of the links
so you know what they taught you, then you will have the beginnings of this
"database".
I've become a fanatic lately about my Favorites. I spent one whole day
making folders in there and changing the names of all the links to names
that made sense to me...now, when I go to my Favorites in IE, I can simply
go right to a folder I've name MS Word and in that folder, I see sites with
names like "Error # blah blah" or "Download Calendar Template", etc...so now
my Favorites are much more useful to me.
That day I spent creating folders and organizing my favorites was well worth
it...now I can add to my favorites and quickly change the name of the page
and put it in the correct folder in a few seconds....and then, periodically
I use IE'S export favorites feature to move my most current favorites to my
less used machines. And, now that my favorites are organized in folders,
when I export them to that html file, it shows all the folders as headings,
with the links listed under them. It's a great way to travel. When I go to
see Vic in Canada, I just export my favorites and burn that file onto a CD
and then I can access all my favorites from his machine while I'm there.
Way handy.
