How to Create a Bookmark in Safari for this Website

You don’t have to type in the address for this website each time you want to visit it.  Here are instructions on how to create a link in your Safari browser:

To bookmark this webpage ( or any webpage), open the page in Safari, then choose Add Bookmark from the Bookmarks menu at the top of your screen. You can also click the Add Bookmarks button in the address bar, if it’s showing.

Type a name for the bookmark and choose where you want it to appear from the pop-up menu. You can add the bookmark to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or a collection of bookmarks.  I suggest you add it directly to the bookmarks bar so you don’t have to search for it later on.

You can also add a bookmark to the bookmarks bar by dragging the icon in the address box to the bookmarks bar.

To see a bookmark that you added to a collection, choose Show All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu.
