There are a lot of bookmarking service over the internet. They store the URL into your Account so you can read them later by opening the bookmarking site. However, all of those bookmark services are unable to be accessed while you are offline. I mean those bookmarking site is over the internet.

The bookmarking service that can stay offline is better, because you can read them everytime even when you are offline. So what’s the offline bookmark service? The answer is built-in browser’s bookmark such as Mozilla Firefox Bookmark and Internet Explorer’s Bookmark.

But how could we add a site into the bookmark? By default you can hit Ctrl+D or right click then bookmark . However as blog owner, you can’t just tell the visitor to hit Ctrl+D button, isn’t it? So let’s embed the bookmark operation into javaScript function and a single button

Bookmark Function

function browser_bookmark () {
window.sidebar.addPanel(document.title, location,"");
window.external.AddFavorite(location, document.title);
}

Implementation on HTML

<input type="button" value="Bookmark Me !" onclick="browser_bookmark()" />

That will add a button with the caption “Bookmark Me !” and when guest or anybody click on the button, they will be asked whether to bookmark the current page. Pretty simple isn’t it?

WordPress Plugin

if you are wordpress users, then you must be lucky because i already made this plugin so you can save more time implementing this. Steps:

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Go to plugin tab
3. Select install new and look for “Browser Bookmark”
4. If you want to install it manually, download from WordPress Plugin Directory
5. Activate it
6. Go to Widget area
7. Insert the widget named “Browser Bookmark”
8. Select the caption, background color, and text color of the button
9. Save the widget
10. See the button on your desired sidebar

I hope you enjoy it
