Your Safari Bookmarks: Mac
- Open
Safari.

on the Bookmarks menu and select Show All
Bookmarks.

on the File menu.

Bookmarks.

the dialog box appears, select the Desktop as the destination for
the file.
- Now,
change the default Safari Bookmarks.html file
name to to your first initial followed by your last name (example: bjost.html)
Important Note: Use only lower-case letters. Do not use any spaces and be sure to include the .html suffix.
- Save the renamed Bookmarks file.
- Close Safari.
- Navigate
to the desktop and double click to open your exported Bookmarks.
You should see your entire Bookmarks file displayed as a webpage
on your
screen.
Clicking
on the links should take you to the associated webpage.
- You will
notice that this process exported your entire Bookmarks list. If
you want to edit the collection, try using your word processor or
TextEdit. Most current word processor software is capable of editing
webpages. You will want to be sure to save the edited file as a .html
(webpage) file.
- You are now ready to send the bookmarks file to me as an email attachment.
See the directions below if you need them.
