How do you guys do this?

I cant seem to find a utility or HTML code that allows you to add that link that says "Click here to Bookmark!"

Thank You very much - it has solved one of my questions with great ease and I now have a great bookmark facility that I got from typing "bookmarks" at www.goggle.com - think it was the 6th site down I got the code from.

It's also worth the brief effort to create an icon to further distinguish your favorite. You need to create a customized favicon.ico (16x16 pixels, converted from bmp or gif to ico format using an icon editor program, check www.download.com for some).

[favicon.com...] has a great set of tools and info on this.

I've also seen some pages that simply suggest "Bookmark this page now! [Ctrl-D]" Of course that's an slight to Mac users, but I guess they're used to it. [duck]

Provide good content!

I know that sounds a smart comment but people will naturally bookmark a site they find interesting and/or useful. So work on improving and extending your content all the time.

try this:

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
ref=""+escape(document.referrer);
if ((ref=="undefined")¦¦(ref=="")¦¦(ref=="bookmarks")) {
ref="Bookmark";
}
else {
wl=window.location.href;
if (wl.lastIndexOf('/')!=(wl.length-1)) {
wl=wl+"/";
}
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://url','Description')">click here </a>
</body>

Hehehe... we're just clever enough not to need instructions for simple things like that.
