Alfa Pages

I have seen a lot of posts where people post up links to sites we may find useful.
I spent a while trying to sort out my car / Alfa / Alfa 33 favourites into groups that can be found with ease. This may sound easy but it is not, I was looking for suggestions and think if we all sorted out our favourites into this proposed format we could then all post up our favourites and then have a good library of favourites.
I’ll make a start but still need suggestion on the format.
What do you think guys?
Hold the suggestions until you see what I have so far.
eg, something like this

+---alfa
| +---alfa 33
| | +---alfa pages
| | +---cats
| | +---maintainence
| | +---manuals
| | +---mods
| | +---parts
| | +---pics
| | \---vids
| +---manuals
| +---mods
| +---my car
| | +---alarm
| | +---handsfree car kit
| | +---pics
| | \---stereo
| +---parts
| +---pics
| \---vids
+---bodywork
+---brakes
+---buy sell cars
+---driving & the law
+---ecu stuff
+---electrics
+---engine
+---fuel
+---lpg
+---oil
+---online shopping magazines
+---pics
+---projects
+---tools
+---vids
+---wheels & tyres
\---windows tinting

but it didnt come out correctly when i posted it up

Keith can I upload bookmark.htm file so that others can import into their favourites and have a look? If not I have emailed it to you to host and possibly put on here.

Hi

Really should sort out an upload script.

Anyway, you can email it to me. Nothing has come through yet.

All the best

Keith

I found "Favorites" a bit cumbersome.

I keep all links I think might need in future in alphabetical order in an Excel database, I now have nearly 900 saved. As soon as I come across a useful new site I chuck it in there.

Using columns for Name, URL, Category (eg Car Parts, Forums), Keyword (eg Alfa, Brakes), and Comments (eg New, Online sales) I can sort by Category, then Keyword, to find any site I have saved there really quickly, and copy the URL into Explorer.

If I am looking for something I can look at the entire Category page to see possible sources.
