Instead of saving favorites on your computer create a free blog

I learned the hard way as when my computer crashed several years ago all of my favorites were gone, I created a free blog and now I can share my links with others all over the world

You can create labels (for catergories)!

You can also put on a globe to see how many hits you receive and from where (free)

Lots of free things to add to your blog, you can also add music.

I also downloaded the google tool bar and when I find a link, I just click on share button and can post it to my blog, so fast and simple. Have fun!

you can also have more than 1 blog (like for recipes, etc., whatever you want)

I had forgotten about creating a blog. Now I can use it. LOL!!! I used to use Xmarks for bookmarking my favorites, but they are closing their site. This will be even better!

please add the link to your profile on here under the signature section

Just go to My Profile here on quilting board and then under signature paste the url from your blog (when you are on your blog just hit control c (to copy) the url and then go to the signature line here on your profile and add it by clicking control p to paste it

*** be sure to click on update tab below the signature box so it will save it

That way everytime you post a message your link to blog will show up (be sure to put the http://then the name of your blog) To make it clickable

any ? just ask me
