Wouldn't it be nice to access your bookmarks from anywhere? Now you can with WSO Bookmarks. Better yet, there's a Firefox extension that adds pretty buttons to your browser to make it easy to see all of your bookmarks on WSO, and to bookmark the page you're currently looking at.

Installation

Download the Extension

Restart Firefox

For Mac:

  • Hold down "ctrl", click on the navigation bar (which holds icons "back","forward"), and select "Customize...".
  • Drag the two Scuttle icons out to the navigation bar. They look like these:

  • Select "Tools" from the top menu. Click on "Extensions". In the Extensions window, Click on Scuttle and then click "preferences". Change the URL to
          http://wso.williams.edu/bookmarks

Installation under windows is very similar

Now every time you want to share a page you are currently browsing, you can click on "Scuttle This Page" to put it on WSO bookmarks.
