Enlarging Bookmark Area?

[PoopaAnski]

First,

Thank you, MacOSX.com for allowing me to be a part of this community. I do hope to add something positive to Mac-lovers, like myself.

I just bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro) and I wanted to find out, is there a way to enlarge the bookmark area on Safari? Anytime I add a new bookmark, as you know, the last in the line recedes into an archive of sorts.

Can I create another bookmark line or enlarge the original?

I didn't see an option in the toolbar.

Thanks,

Andre

I guess you are asking about the bookmark bar, and not the bookmark menu?

I have organized bookmarks in the bookmark bar by going to Show All Bookmarks, and creating folders in the bookmark bar. You can then simply drag bookmarks into that folder. For example, I have tech support bookmarks in a Support folder. I have any shopping sites (ebay, etc) in a shopping folder.

When you are done setting that up, then you have only a few items in the bookmark bar, and each will drop down when clicked to show individual sites.

If you _must_ have all bookmarks showing all the time, there's no way AFAIK to add more bookmark bars.

One more hint, you can edit the site name showing for each bookmark, so they don't take up so much space, and you can view more at one time. Again, you would do this in Show All Bookmarks.
You can also do this same folder/name edit in the Bookmarks menu, so that doesn't get so huge.
