Favourite sites
When you are on a web page that you want to use again, you can 'bookmark' the address so that you can return to it easily. This is also known as adding a favourite site, to your list of favourites.
Add a favourite
To add the site that you are looking at to your Favorites (American spelling) list, click on
- Favorites, then
- Add to Favorites
(A small window will appear with the name of the page) - Click OK and the page will be added to your list.
If necessary, after completing step 2 of 'Add a favorite', you can also create a folder by clicking on 'New Folder' and giving it an appropriate name.
Tip: You can also add sites to your favourites by clicking the ‘Add to Favorites’ icon, (pictured right). This is only available in certain web browsers.
Go to a favourite
To go to a site that is in your Favorites list,
- click on Favorites,
- then click on the name of the page you want, or on a folder if you have organised your favourite sites in this way.
When you click on a folder, a list of pages in that folder will come up beside it. Click on the page you want and that page will load.
