    1. Re: [AOL-RW] How to Organize Favorites ?
    2. Judy Florian
    3. It is a longgg process of (1) setting up folders and (2) moving favs into folders. Now, here's the bad part... AOL can't make a folder in favorites if you are sitting ON a folder. (if ON a folder, it'll make a new folder INSIDE that folder). You CAN make a folder in the midst of a bunch of hearts, though. To give me "space" between folders, I created some folders and named each one *****BLANK 1***** *****BLANK 2***** etc. Now, you can try to make "groups" of similar folders, and after the last folder of a group, drag the "blank" folder to be the last of that group. Example of folders: Genealogy_Pees Family Genealogy_Waller Family etc etc etc etc *****BLANK 1***** Tips_research Tips_Health Tips_Computers *****BLANK 2***** Family_mine Family_hubby (blank one) etc When I organized, I found it easiest to start at the BOTTOM. It gives you MORE room to make folders. LEAVE a couple extra hearts between folders when you start-- it makes it easier to create a new folder when you find a fav you forgot about. LEAVE some hearts OUT of folders at the top too, in case you need another new folder at the top-- you can move those individual favs last. When you want to re-arrange or alphabetize your folders, remember the FIRST FOLDER or heart you drag & drop will fall to the BOTTOM of the list--- So do drag-drop in reverse order so that the one you want at the TOP of the list is the LAST one you drop into the top. If you use "Blank" folders in between other folders, don't forget to move each blank one in the order you want, as you move the real folders. Just to clarify, dropping from the top means letting go over the word "Favorites" at the very top of the list.
