I know most of you will already know this but just in case I'm posting this. I regularly see posts from people who have lost their bookmarks due to computer failure or whatever. The solution to this is to stop storing your bookmarks on your computer. Right now.

Go here: http://www.delicious.com

get yourself an account (it's free) and start bookmarking. It's easy and since it's web based your bookmarks are available to you no matter where you are or what computer you are using. Just make sure you use tags right from the start as when you have thousands of bookmarks it'll be a lot easier to find stuff!

My bookmarks are HERE, you will not find anything terribly interesting there (unless you are into photography, graphic design, typography, video production and special effects etc.) as all my fic and fandom bookmarks are locked because I use it a lot at work. You can get an ideea of how it works though.

This is one of those things I kept meaning to get to.

So thanks for the kick in the ass, I just got one, and am going through my bookmarks, tagging them appropriately.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was all set to follow through, but alas, I just updated Firefox to the new version and it's not compatible. I'm sure the delicious program will be upgraded soon.

You don't need to use the plug-in (I don't) you can use just the basic buttons and it works fine with any version of any browser.
