In FrontPage, a bookmark is another type of hyperlink.
Rather than linking to another webpage, a bookmark links to a specific
location within a page. When the site visitor clicks this type
of hyperlink, the relevant part of the page is displayed. Study this
example:
http://www.gaetc.org/overview06.htm.
A bookmark has two components, the link and
the destination. In the example, the links are all the underlined
words at the top of the page.
If your visitor will have to scroll and scan to locate specific
information in a page, you
might want to provide him with bookmarks to the sections of
your document, or to the top of the page.
On this webpage, here are the links to the
bookmarks: Part I, Part II,
Part III, Part IV.
To create your own bookmarks, first create the
destination, then insert the hyperlink to it.
1. DESTINATION
Select where you want to place the
bookmark. This can be selected text, or just where you have your
insertion point. Click INSERT | BOOKMARK. Type in the name
of the bookmark (the destination). The text in the link and the name of the bookmarks do not
have to correspond.
The destination can be named anything that makes sense to the webmaster--no need for caps and spaces.
When you insert a bookmark, you will see
its icon: Although this icon
is visible in DESIGN view, it is invisible in BROWSER view.
Repeat for each bookmark.
2. LINK
Type in a link for a bookmark.
Select the text and click the INSERT HYPERLINK icon. In
the INSERT HYPERLINK dialog box, note the TEXT TO DISPLAY box.
Select the webpage that contains your destination bookmark (n
this example, bookmarks.htm) and then click BOOKMARK.
Select the destination for the
link. Repeat this process for each link.
Part I
This is just garbage text to
serve as a filler for this section and is not intended to make any
sense; indeed, if you are looking for logical content, you will be
sorely disappointed. I just had to have a way to space out these
sections to make a point about the usefulness of bookmarks when your
site visitor is forced to scroll and scan in order to locate specific
information. A "page" in a webpage could easily be 25 typed pages.
I don't think I want to take the time to type enough to flesh out 25
pages for this illustration, but perhaps there are a few more words in
my head that might fit into the syntax of a normal paragraph.
Sometimes in templates you will see Latin sentences to
meet this need for text filler, but my current text is now just an
exercise to see how long I can type nonsense and make it look like a
good paragraph--all without stopping to think about what I'm typing.
This is very similar to an exercise in writing classes called Free
Writing, in which the writer simply writes and writes without activating
her internal editor. This procedure is more convenient with a
wordprocessor than with a pencil. One of the values of technology!
Have you ever thought that sometimes politicians, and
preachers, and even teachers (gasp!) talk this way? It's like the
air is empty space to be filled with words; the most important thing is
for the words to sound good; they don't have to make any sense at all.
I wonder what the correlation is between audience approval and the
volume of the voice? A coherent, organized, and actually
meaningful monologue is difficult to produce on the spur of the minute,
especially when the speaker/writer is trying to fill up space, either in
the air on on paper. Now I guess we have to add a yet another
place for meaningless sentences: the electronic page. By the way,
have you sampled any of the new blogs?
I have given you an example of how sentences that "look"
meaningful can, indeed, have little meaning. Pretty soon I'm going
to be reduced to telling jokes to fill up this space to make the point
about using bookmarks. My current favorite quote--used on my
screensaver--is "If I didn't have a sense of humor, I wouldn't have any
sense at all." The goal is to have each part of the page to take
up more than a screen. Did you notice that this page could print
out as eight pages? That's one of the ways that techno-linguistics
has ruined a perfectly good word: a page is not a page; it's really a
file. And on the same topic (almost), what do you think about the
variations on spelling for some of these almost-new words? People
who don't care about spelling don't have to sweat it, but people who
really, really want to be correct--OCD spellers--are concerned about
what people will think if they type out web sites. The
inner dialogue goes something like: "Oh, my gosh. Should I
capitalize Web? Like Internet? But I've seen it as one word,
websites! And Websites! Is it one or two words? With a
capital? Will they think I don't know how to spell? Or that I just
don't care about correct spelling?" And email gives us
further problems. It can be correctly spelled as E-mail, e-email,
or email. An older word with similar growth throes is fax.
That started life as an acronym that wasn't really an acronym but was
spelled like one: FAX. It's funny when you remember that the mother word
is facsimile with an X no where in sight.If logic is sought in
content that is not intended to have any, the reader could try to locate
her own meaning in the words, or determine what the author meant this
selection to mean. That is the pattern of much literary criticism, even
when the words have no literary merit. Whew. That looks like
enough; now I can copy it to the other sections, and the point about the
usefulness of bookmarks will be substantiated, verified, and
authenticated.
