1. What is it?
==============

online-bookmarks is a Bookmark management system to store your Bookmarks, 
Favorites and Links right in the WWW where they actually belong to. It is 
meant for people who work often with different computers and browsers. 
Some of the main features online-bookmarks supports are:
- Multi-user
- Multi-language
- Folder structure in arbitary depth
- Import bookmarks from the most common browsers

Planned features are to import/export bookmarks and favorites from and to 
Opera, Netscape, Mozilla and MS Internet Explorer.

online-bookmarks also has Multi-Language support. To adjust the Language
you want, just change the variable $language="english"; at the top of the
"./config/config.php" file. The Language-Files are stored in a appropriate
subdirectory of the "./messages" directory. See this directory for 
available languages. If you speak another language and if you have the
mood to write your own language file, feel free to translate one of the
existing ones and put your own "msg.php" file into a subdir of "./messages".
If you do that, please send me a copy of your "msg.php", so I can share
it.

2. Location
===========
You can find the original online-bookmarks at

3. Installation
===============
See the INSTALL file in this directory.

4. Styles, Skins, Templates or whatever you will call it
========================================================
At this time the look-and-feel of online-bookmarks depends on the files 
"header.php", "footer.php", "style.css", "index.php" and "./config/config.php" 
as well as on the directory content of "./images/". Feel free to play around 
with these files, but safe the PHP and the JavaScript Code in it. It is 
necessary for the functionality of online-bookmarks. If you do not know 
anything about HTML and CSS, be careful. There are some existing Styles 
which you can download . Just replace the above mentioned files by the 
one in the style tarball and it should work. In case you made your own 
masterpiece and you are proud of it, send me a copy and I will distribute
it.

5. Import Function
==================
As of Version 0.2.8 there is the possibility to import your existing
bookmarks from the most popular browsers. Supported export-formats are
Opera and Netscape. It seems, that Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer
and Mozilla have exactly the same bookmark export format. So import from 
MS IE and Mozilla should work with the "Netscape" function.
