Safari bookmarks on the iPad make browsing easier

Create and use Safari bookmarks

Did you place up your syncing preferences 'twixt iPad and computer whenever you first got your tablet? If so, you'll find Safari already stuffed with a whole batch of bookmarks - that is, a summary of websites you want to re-visit without having to remember and type in their URLs.

If you ripped your iPad from its box as soon as you got it and have not yet introduced it to your PC or Mac, you can easily copy your existing desktop computer's browser bookmarks from online Explorer or Safari.

To determine all your bookmarks, tap the button towards the top of the screen. The Bookmarks box appears on-screen. Some might be "loose," and many more are probably organized into folders, or even folders within folders. Tapping a folder shows you what's inside, and tapping a bookmark immediately begins opening the related website.

Add new bookmarks on the iPad

You can add new bookmarks right on your tablet. Any work you do here is copied to your computer the next time you sync the two machines. When you look for a web page you might like to visit again, tap the button. Tap the Add Bookmark option to call up the Add Bookmark screen. You've two tasks:

Type in a better name. In the top box, you can type in a shorter or clearer name for the page than the one it arrives with. Instead of "Bass, Trout, & Tackle - the Web's Premiere Resource for that Avid Outdoorsman," you can just call it "Fish." The box below this one identifies the underlying URL, which is totally separate from what you've called your bookmark. You can't edit this one. Click Save and you're done; the bookmark turns up in Safari's "loose" list.

Specify where to file this bookmark. If you wish to save a bookmark in a more organized way, tap the button that says Bookmarks. You open Safari's hierarchical listing of bookmark folders. Tap the folder where you want to file the new bookmark.

Make home screen bookmarks

Are you one of those people who has shortcuts to your absolute favorite websites on your computer's desktop? If so, would you like to continue the tradition and put icons for your top sites on your iPad's Home screen? No problem.

When you're on a site you want to save, tap the button at the top of your browser and choose "Add by Screen" from the menu box. The site's icon now sits directly on your iPad's main screen. And do not worry about filling up your Home screen pages - you can have as much as 11 of them and finger-flick among them.
