Three of our best lyric and tune searchers have said in the last year that they lost their bookmarks when their computers failed. I only have a few by now, for my own lyric research, but I can see already that I would hate to lose them.I know of two ways to protect them. One is to back up the folder they live in, on a regular basis.
The other way is available to all Mudcat members. It benefits all Mudcatters, and can make searching your favorite sites faster, IMO. Just use the handy link-making form in the Mudcat LINKS pages, and then from there, use the "bookmark" function to toss the links you use most onto your personal page-- the ones you've listed and the ones you'll glean from others' listings. (You can even edit your own listings.) From there you can open those links anytime in a new window. In the LINKS section, they will be organized by topic, but in your personal page they will all be together.
