That's a good idea. I use google bookmarks but it's a pain to find a link when you have a lot of them.

craftybear said she uses the google toolbar. Go to http://www.toolbar.google.com and download and install the toolbar. It's great-I've used it for years and I can't live without it. Then you can set the options up. I think the default has the sharing feature enabled but if not you can add it.

:( I don't like the google toolbar. I've had it before and took it off. I put an icon on my desk top to get me to my blog. Just don't know how to get my "favorites" into it.

Edited to say: Dohhhhhhhhhhh I must still have the toolbar because I see "share" button. I'll check it out. Thanks

I've set up a blog, now can someone tell me how to put my favorites in????

If there's something important that I don't want to lose, I e-mail it to myself. Then I just ... never delete the e-mail! I have a folder I call "keepers" for all that stuff.

That way it's still private; I don't think I'd really like for the world to know all the (silly) sites I visit.

Can you create a blog that's private? Rather beside the point, I know...

I think rather than putting my favorites in a blog, I'm just going to put them on a flash drive. Much easier. I know nothing about this blog thing. lol

If you already have the google toolbar you can bookmark them on it. Then you can access your bookmarks online if you lose them on your computer. Just click on the star (or enable it if you don't see it).

Yes, you can. I created private blogger blogs for deployment related links. However, I don't remember how I did it. Under the privacy (or permissions) tab, I suppose.
