Editing Bookmarks

[cameronryan]

Is there a way to edit or delete bookmarks once they are in the bar? I know they can be re-shuffled but I want to shorten some so i can fit more in.

Cheers,

Right-click the bookmark and choose delete.

If you use Firefox, the Mac Favicon XL 0.1 theme removes the text in the bookmarks toolbar, leaving only favicons, so it might go too far the other way. But each favicon displays a tool-tip-type title (say that fast, three times). I downloaded the theme, and it seems to work as advertised.

I don't know why there are two Mac OS X install buttons for it. Maybe this is to emphasize the author's warning that the theme doesn't work correctly in Windows.

There sure is mate. Click on the little open book looking thing on the far left of you bookmark bar. Thats where all of those book marks are stored then drag whatever you want to show up in the top of your page( the bookmark bar) into the folder label "bookmark bar". Once you got whatever you want in there you simply click on the name of the bookmark until it flashes to rename mode then call it what you will. I suppose you know how to add bookmarks just click the + next to the address bar at the top. To keep that puppy all organized it'll give you an option on where to add the bookmark you just added simply choose where it goes and click OK

Hi Cameron, you didn't say what your web browser was so I'll assume Safari....most work much the same way in any case.
In Safari, go to bookmarks on the top barhighlight by one click. Click show all bookmarks. Click to open. Right click on the bookmark link you wish to edit or delete and choose the option that you want.

note, you can also do one of my absolute favorite safari tricks if you feel it might help you...

when you are in the bookmark area steven11 pointed out, and then select the bookmarks bar on the left, you can click on the little plus sign at the bottom of the window to the right to create a new folder in the right pane. folders on this side act as drop down menus instead of simple links.
so for example, i have a few called "answers", "apple", and "music". and within those i keep my most accessed pages, such as google and merriam-webster under answers, apple.com and mac-forums under apple, and all music guide and minnesota public radio under music. (obviously i have a few more categories and selections under each, but you get the idea.

the other neat feature about these folders is that there is an "open in tabs" selection at the bottom of each button's drop down. so you could make a folder called "start" or "home" or whatever with a few sites you always seem to open first, and if you click the "open in tabs", they will all open at once in their own tabs.

you can also automate this further in the edit bookmarks area, by checking the "auto-click" on the folder you have those "start-up" links in. then you don't even have to open the folder on the bookmark bar, you can just click the button on the bookmark bar to open all links inside in their own tabs.
