Great piece, very helpful
I really enjoyed the part on font organization and your categories for sorting them.

I first read this article a while back and have been meaning to sort out my bookmarks for some time.
Do you still have that list of suggested folders for bookmarks?

Thanks for the post. There is really a lot of valuable info here. I really like the idea of organizing the fonts into different categories and bookmarks. I often find myself looking for something that I know I saved but can’t find it because it is not where it is suppose to be.

Patrick,
It’s like when you read a newspaper… there are hundreds of articles each day in the paper, but instead of reading them all, you scan the titles and pick out what’s interesting. So even though I subscribe to 300 blogs and, lets say 200 new articles a day, I’m only reading probably a third of them that interest me. The others I ‘star’ in google reader and read later.

Hey Brian, great Article. But I am wondering how you manage to read 300 blogs at the same time. Do you just randomly go through or do you have a system?

Again….Great write up. Sometimes I find myself being lazy and forget to organize my bookmarks. I like your idea of saving inspirational bookmarks as well.
