A Question For My Web-Savvy Readers

     As you’re probably aware, I have a fair number of things “going on” at any one time. Also, I’m old, and as many old persons do, I suffer the occasional lapse of memory. But I take my work here at Liberty’s Torch quite seriously; indeed, ever more so as other once-reliable voices of the DextroSphere falter and fall silent. On top of the time I spend writing pieces for this joint, I spend a couple of hours each day scanning various news and opinion sources for stories and columns about which to write on a later occasion. And while I do bookmark the links I find comment-worthy, I sometimes forget what specifically came to mind because of them that I wanted to emphasize at the time.

     I’m hoping one of you who’s more knowledgeable than I in the ways of the Web can point me toward a browser “plugin” that allows the user to add notes to his bookmarked links. It could be as stark as Microsoft’s old Notepad program – no formatting, just the ability to accept text and associate it with a particular bookmark – as long as it provides for convenient later retrieval of both the link and the text.

     Does any Gentle Reader know of such a program? Yes, yes: I could simply keep Notepad open continuously, but there are drawbacks to that approach, including mixing up the references, accidentally closing the application, and forgetting where I saved the file, that I’d prefer to avoid. Something that houses the solution entirely within the browser would avoid those hazards.
