How many bookmarks do you need? A neat extension that keeps all in order.
Do you know the google chrome extension pocket?
I use Pocket now since 1 year and it makes it so much easier to save all your favourite pages you see on the Web.
It is easy to install just go to google extensions >search for pocket > click on it and add it to your browser. It is also available on Internet Explorer.
Saving a page to Pocket.You can save any page you like to Pocket, you just have to click on the save to pocket button in your toolbar.
You can also create a keyboard shortcut for it just go to your Options Menu to create a custome shortcut.
You will see a small popup on the top right corner of your screen that the page is saved.
A neat tool that helps you to add tags, archive the page or undo the save of a particular page.
The page you saved will open up in pocket ( right mouse click).
You can also save links what are currently open in your browser. I use this a lot and I archive those links quickly. When you access them they open up in pocket not on the browser but you can also open the page in the browser.
It is a neat tool and I don't use bookmarks anymore since I have pocket.
My favourite is as I have quick access without scrolling all my bookmarks. Plus I can easily delete and spring clean my links and pages.
Try it out and see how you like it.
Pocket is also available on Iphone, and Android.
Have a beautiful day...
Cheers Sylvia

Good evening Sylvia,
How have you been? Have not seen you for ages.
Thank you for the tip, I always stuff the important ones in labels.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske
Good Morning Taetske
I have been keeping myself very busy. I have not seen you around for a while too. Just got the news that Germany has the hottest weather in years. Guess Spain is the same now hot and beautiful.
Singapore is always hot so not much difference in Temperature.
Hope you are doing well too?
Have a beautiful day
Cheers Sylvia
Good Morning Sylvia,
Europe is suffering an African heatwave. As I live 8km away from the coast it is ok here with 30C. Many places inland and even up in the North are expecting up to 44C these coming days.
The other problem is Spain is drying out. I am lucky to have my own water sources for the farm. More than 30 years ago I taught my garden to be happy with watering every second week, flower pots get once a week.
Recently I joined FB and nearly left after a few days. I did not leave but my next monthly WA post will be on my observations being on FB, Oh my, it is another world.

Good Afternoon Taetske
Yesterday in Germany my sister said they had 40C. Lucky you live by the coast. Unfortunately that countries drying is all over the world now.
FB is another world but still ok. I started with Web talk and that is a bit of a challenge for me.
If you need help with FB let me know.
I miss Europe especially in the summers it is so beautiful.
My older sister lives in Marbella. Every time I visit her it is a different world.
Greetings from Singapore
Sylvia
I live like an hour away from Marbella, direction Malaga. Next time you come let me know ok? You might have been to Alhaurin de la Torre.
On FB I only have my Gravatar and a lovely sunset from my patio as a background.I say I live in the south of Spain and that is all they will get from me as information. Would you know how I can put my websites visible on my background photo?
I am on FB to promote my posts and I am in a little closed group of some WA friends, that is it.
All the best, Taetske
Good Morning
I know Alhaurin de Torre. We go there every time we are in Marbella.
I will let you know when I am going to visit my sister again.
For the facebook background and your website do you want it as a picture or a video?
For the picture, you can use the snipping tool build in windows.

A video is a better idea.
Cheers Sylvia
Good Morning Sylvia,
It would be nice to meet when you are so close by. Last year April on my trip to Holland I met Michelle and Loes, did you see my WA post on that?
Thank you for the tip, I will go and have a look.
Hasta pronto, Taetske
Hello Sylvia, awesome blog. One I get another computer we will be able to implement this. Thank you

Peace💗
Hi Sharon
Great Idea and hope you get a new computer soon.
It is so much choice out there and hard to choose which one to get.
Have a beautiful day
Cheers Sylvia
I had noticed Pocket in Firefox too, but haven't tried it out yet. It sounds like it'd be a much easier way than using the bookmarks, which I have way too many!
Thanks for sharing, Sylvia!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry

Hi Daisy
I bookmark also often and after a while, the bookmarks become a bit messy. Since I use pocket I am so organized with all my links and pages.
Thanks for stopping by
