Hi Chih-yu

A question about your entry:

After you browsed to a web site and Bookmarked the site, and you went the the Journal to edit the name of the Browser session logged there, did you then Stop the Browser Activity and then return to the Journal and select the renamed Browser session that has the Bookmark and were then taken to that site?

Here is my story in a little more detail:

I didn't rename the bookmark,  I thought I was renaminig a particular Browser Activity session.  

I did this by starting the Browser Activity and in a browse session, I went to a particular Web site, e.g. www.laptop.org.   In the Browse screen, I selected the Activity tab.  In the top border, there is a field that defaults an entry of "OLPC Library".  I placed the cursor in that field and entered "patBookmark".  

I then selected the Browse tab and selected the STAR(Bookmark) icon which appears on the far right of the top border, right after what appears to be the url field.  

An icon with representing the bookmarked site appears in a row at the bottom of the Browse Activity screen.  If multiple bookmarks are created during a session, they each will appear in that border.  As long as the session lasts the icon bookmarks will take me to the lab sites.  When I Stop the Browse Activity session and then open a new session, the bookmarks are not available.

Is it possible to use the entry that appears in the Journal, e.g. "patBookmark" to open a Browser Activity?  Are the Bookmarks stored within the Journal Browser entry?  Better yet, are Bookmarks stored from session to session for the Browser Activity?

Thanks,

Patrick
