This was a little confusing adding the button to my computer. It was easy to add the bookmarks and I found ones I was not aware of. Easy to use.

Doing this exercise from a college library has limited what can be done. Great to view, but unable to fulfill the whole thing. Bookmarking will help when I can use my own computer and not be limited by no down loads at the college library computer.
