Moving practices? Take your web resources with you It can be frustrating to build a good list of useful web resources only to have to start again when you move to a new practice. There are a couple of ways around this problem. One is to export your “bookmarks” or “favourites” list (called by different names depending on your browser) to a file on a USB memory stick and then import them on your new computer. Another way is to set up a Google account: www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and make your own Google homepage: www.google.com.au/ig?hl=en Next, load your bookmarks onto Google. You can then add a Google “gadget” to your homepage that contains all your bookmarks neatly organised any way you want: www.google.com.au/ig/directory?q=google+bookmarks&hl=en&root=%2Fig&dpos=top This way your bookmarks are available wherever you are and whatever computer you are using. This also helps in practices that don’t like you loading things onto their computers. If your browser has the Google toolbar: www.google.com.au/intl/en/options/ Once you have logged onto your homepage you can access, organise and add to your bookmarks directly from the toolbar.
