In your browser, how do you organize your bookmarks? Perhaps taking a screenshot and showing us, or explaining it, etc. I'm just wondering. Thanks.

I keep a bunch of common links in the bookmarks bar, like facebook and Arstechnica and MacNN, but I use very short names, like FB and Ars and NN. This lets me keep about 30 links quick to access.

Everything else goes in the Bookmarks menu bar, very organized but only 1 level deep.

I keep 99% of what I visit in the bookmarks bar. Most of that is in folders as themes like turtle, but a few are individually-accessible for frequent access, e.g., some moderator tools like ban user (for spammers, not regular members), MacNN new/today posts (although I also keep the New Posts link in my Dock), and a bookmark to a network tools site for traceroute, whois, and more.

Yes, that's the Holy Grail of bookmarking, aTurtle folder. I have one of these, too.

Hey, I like the way you organize your bookmarks. I think Im going to do the same. Now I'm just wondering how you organize the bookmarks in those folders? I just want to know if you re-name the websites and what not. Here's how I will set mine up:

-life (blogs about life i guess)
-school (school links, school email)
-sports (a bunch of links here probably)
-social (facebook, multiply, twitter)
-ootp
-fantasy (fantasy sports)
-spend (slickdeals, woot)
-etc (random links)

Thanks in advance and appreciate the guidance lol
