Usually, what will you do when you want to start new search with Google search bar on the top-right corner of your web browser? There are three ways to do that.

Type 1. Google Homepage

This is the least advanced way. However, most of my friends still use this way. First, you open new tab (shortcut : T), followed by typing in the url address "www.google.com", filling in the search term and Google will return you the result.

Organizing Safari Bookmarks

Posted by Wendy digg delicious su


Since I've upgraded to Leopard, I've eventually migrated from Firefox, which is rich of ad-ons, to Safari, which has been proved to render the page much faster.

In addition to that, I also like Safari Bookmark that is easy to create, manage and organize.

Adding Bookmark Items

  2. Contextual Menu ▸ Show Package Contents
