This comment I made made me curious. Also, I'm a cat. What links are on your bookmarks toolbar?

Ah dang. I'm actually more interested in pretty pictures of icon studded toolbars. Maybe that'll fly?

It's too broad a question guys. I mean I have several hundred catagories with lots of links like
Urban Exploration 70+
Photographers has a least 200+
Linux 200+
Weekly Newspapers 50+
PBX IVR 15+
Cigars 40+
Scotch 60+
Cats 20+
SSL 50+
VPN 50+
Detroit 70+
Pasadena 30+
Chicago 80+
etc.
Just too big a question.

Specifically though, what's on your toolbar? What's it look like baby! Show that sucker off... oh wait, you don't have a bookmarks toolbar.

too crowded to be useful...

Of course if you could see my bookmarks you would not have made that boobah faux pas. ;>

posted by arse_hat 20 December | 02:06

Indeed arse_hat! Just think, I would have saved myself the shame if only you had shown me your bookmarks earlier. Oh the shame.

I have been entertained by the farting dudes for a few years now. Last Christmas I bought Boobahs for the youngin's of two of my friends.

I don't keep any links on my toolbar. I have one bar across the top - a very clean, teeny, minimal look. I drag everything off of the nav and bookmarks toolbars, and then I delete them. Then I drag the icons I want (new tab, reload, stop, forward, back, home, go, and the location field) onto the top bar where file, edit, view, etc is. Then I make the icons small. The bar takes up barely any room.

When I want to access my favorites I click on the bookmarks icon. I don't like giving up space to bookmarks.

I know! Bookmarks everywhere think I suck.

I'll take a screenshot when I get to work so you can see why they hate me so.

Suck it, haters.

Y'all know you can rename the bookmark toolbar links and leave that field empty, so it only shows the favicon, right?

posted by sciurus 20 December | 09:21

Oh yeah, I'd show you mine, but I'm at work and we're only allowed to use IE.

posted by sciurus 20 December | 09:22

Firefox ocassionally did (does?) this thing where it would randomly delete all the favicons. Which was annoying. Or was it IE? Can't remember. All I know is that I did that thing and that other thing happened.

posted by flopsy 20 December | 09:28

These.

posted by rebirtha 20 December | 09:41

Flopsy, I just had the thing happen. In Firefox.
