How to import my Dewey bookmarks
In a series of three articles published in Insights during the last year, I discussed a wide range of Internet resources related to John Dewey's life and work. As I was working on the article, I collected a large number of "bookmarks," or "favorites" and saved them in a "Dewey" folder. Then I exported the folder, resulting in a file available on my web site. If you want to add my bookmarks to your bookmarks or favorites, here are the instructions:
Internet Explorer (version 6)
First, save my Dewey bookmarks file to your computer. To do that, go to http://craigcunningham.com/dewey and right-click (or click and hold on a Mac) on the “Dewey Bookmarks list” link and choose "Save Target As..." Put the file somewhere you can easily find it (such as your desktop).
Then, create a new folder in your Internet Explorer Favorites named "Dewey." To do that, (open Internet Explorer, then) use the Favorites menu and choose "Organize Favorites...." Use the "Create Folder" button and change the name of the new folder to "Dewey."
Then, import the deweybookmarks.htm file that you saved a few moments ago. Use the File menu and choose "Import and Export..." Follow the instructions. Choose "Import Favorites" then "Import from a File or Address," then click the "Browse" button to locate the deweybookmarks.htm file.
Choose the "Dewey" folder, then click the "Finish" button. You should get a pop-up message that says "Successfully imported Favorites."
To check, use the "Favorites" menu and choose "Organize Favorites..." See if your Dewey folder now contains three subfolders: "Critics," "Institutional Sites," and "Personal Sites."
Netscape Navigator (version 7)
First, save my Dewey bookmarks file to your computer. To do that, go to http://craigcunningham.com/dewey and right-click (or click and hold on a Mac) on the “Dewey Bookmarks list” link and choose "Save Target As..." Put the file somewhere you can easily find it (such as your desktop).
Then, import the deweybookmarks.htm file. Use the "Bookmarks" menu, and choose "Manage bookmarks...." From the window that opens, use the "Tools" menu and choose "Import...". Locate the deweybookmarks.htm file and click "OK."
Netscape will add three new bookmark folders, "Critics," "Institutional Sites," and "Personal Sites."
Use the "Manage bookmarks..." window to create a new folder named "Dewey" to put these three folders into. Use the "New Folder...." button and type "Dewey." To move the three folders into "Dewey," simply click and drag them, dropping them on the "Dewey" folder. A "twistie" (sideways triangle) will appear showing the "Dewey" has subfolders. Click the triangle to toggle whether the subfolders are displayed or not.
If you want collect your own Favorites, here's how:
Internet Explorer : To save a website into Internet Explorer Favorites, you access the page, then use the "Favorites" menu. Choose "Add to Favorites..." See the figure below. If you want to create a new folder, click the "New Folder..." button and type the name. If you want to save the favorite into an existing folder, click on the "Create in.>>" button to display existing folder and the click on the folder you want. If the "Name" is too generic, add some specific text describing the page, and then click the "OK" button.
Netscape Navigator : To save a website into Netscape Bookmarks, you access the page, then use the Bookmarks menu. You can simply click "Bookmark this page" if you want to put the bookmark into the top-level folder. If you want to put it into a specific Bookmark folder, use "File Bookmark." See the figure below. If you want to create a new folder, use the "New Folder" button. To save the bookmark into an exisitng folder, click the folder on the list. If the text in "Name" is too generic, add some descriptive text, and then click the "OK" button.
