Stay In Touch
Bookmark Option
 

This simple little bookmark option lets you automatically "stay in touch" with websites.  Sometimes you find a Website, Blog or Forum that you want to visit once a month, but without a regular reminder, you seldom visit that website.  And who wants to register with each Blog or News site for emails, with accounts and passwords and all that?  This option lets you avoid this.

With a few characters, you can set how often you want to receive a simple email with a link to a website.  Then, when you receive that email each week or month, just click the bookmark to visit that Blog, Chart, News Site, etc.  The email looks like this . . .

You can set the frequency from days to years.  Staying in touch every Monday is as easy as entering /s1w after the bookmark's name.  Every Friday would be /s5w, every 15th of the month is /s15m.  The emails are sent out in the morning, between 12AM and 2AM, Eastern Standard Time.  Here is how a bookmark would look with the stay-in-touch option, when editing a tab . . .
