Connie, I am saving your message, and will try Multi-Row Toolbar and Xmarks. I did not download the Relatively Curious toolbar because I read the information about it and discovered that they will want to use "push" technology to put messages on my browser that I may not want to be bothered with. I just never have cared for the "push" idea. But with your arrangement, I'll be able to go quickly to the places I want to go on a regular basis, and may also employ your idea of replacing the blog reader with the toolbar.

For frequently visited sites, like Ancestry.com and FamilySearch, I bookmark directly to the Toolbar. For other less frequently used sites, I created folders on the toolbar: some of my folder titles include Blogs, Cemeteries, Census, Church Records, City Directories, Context, DNA, etc. I then bookmark sites to the appropriate folder on the toolbar. Sometimes, I create and use sub-folders. > > I particularly like that I can subscribe to blog feeds in the toolbar, avoiding the need to use a blog reader. Clicking on the Blog folder displays a drop down list of blogs to which I subscribe; hovering over the name of the blog brings up a list of 10 or more of the most recent posts to that blog. If the title of the post interests me, I click on the title and go directly to the blog; I can later tell which posts I've read and which I haven't by viewing the post title lists. > > I can easily rearrange the folders on the toolbar and the links within the folder anyway I want. > > X-marks syncs my toolbar/booksmarks easily between my desktop and laptop, and keeps a copy in the cloud. > > I prefer seeing my booksmarks at all times on the top of my screen on the toolbar, rather than hidden on the side, and I've never liked any of the blog readers I've tried, so this works for me! Of course, I could be missing some great sites on the Relatively Curious toolbar, but I wanted to share the process in case it is helpful to other Firefox users. > > Connie Sheets > Phoenix > > >
