==Organizing and managing bookmarks:==

In time ~~every player creates his own~~ bookmarks and if you don’t organize and manage them you will mess up ~~with your bookmarks~~. ~~There are~~ some basic ~~for organizing and managing bookmarks~~. ~~Although there~~ are no strict rules ~~on these formats, in principle their syntax is formed from various experienced players through~~ time ~~and~~ you ~~may create~~ your own style ~~accordingly~~.

As the time goes by you will create a lot of bookmarks - and if you don’t organize and manage them, you will mess them up. This section presents some basic techniques you can use to avoid that. The following are not strict rules - they are however built upon solid experience. In time you should feel free to develop your own style and system.

===Labeling bookmarks===

The most important point in organizing your bookmarks is ~~labeling~~. In ~~difficult~~ situations you ~~need~~ to recognize ~~your~~ bookmark ~~in a second~~ and use it accordingly. ~~So the~~ bookmark labels ~~should~~ have a standard, easily recognizable format for strict situations. You may use directories to separate your bookmarks but the folder structure is kept on your computer while the bookmarks themselves are stored on the in-game server. So if you lost your computer you will have lost the folder structure, but your bookmarks will be safe. It is important to create an efficient way to label your bookmarks from the beginning which will keep things neat and clear for you in future.

The most important point in organizing your bookmarks is their labelling. In stressful situations you have to be able to recognize the right bookmark and use it accordingly in an instant. Therefore your bookmark labels need to have a standard, easily recognizable format.

Before labeling your bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information stored with your bookmarks in the Places tab.

You may use folders to organize your bookmarks - however you need to realize that while the bookmarks themselves are securely stored on the server, the folders you create are only saved locally on your machine. This means that you can loose the folders if your computer ever crashes, or you otherwise loose it. That's why it is important to create - and use - an efficient way to label your bookmarks from the beginning. You will thank yourself in the future.

Before labeling your bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information stored with your bookmarks in the Places tab of the People & Places window.

The ~~location of~~ the ~~columns can be arranged according~~ to your ~~choice. Labels are~~ the ~~names you give to each~~ bookmark~~. The type~~ of ~~our bookmarks is “Coordinates”. 'Jump' indicated the distance in~~ jumps to the solar system ~~you bookmarked.~~ Sol, Con ~~and~~ Reg ~~are for solar system, constellation and region information.~~ Date ~~indicates~~ the ~~specific EVE~~ date ~~and time~~ the bookmark ~~was created.~~ Avoid using these details in your bookmarks to simplify the ~~label~~.

As you can see in the above illustration, each bookmark automatically contains the following information:

{| style="text-align:left"

!Label:

|The label is the name you assign to your bookmark

|-

!Type:

|Type of the bookmark (for example "Station" or "Coordinate")

|-

!Jump:

|Indicates current number of jumps away from the solar system the bookmark is placed in

|-

!Sol:

|Solar System the bookmark is placed in

|-

!Con:

|Constellation the bookmark is placed in

|-

!Reg:

|Region the bookmark is placed in

|-

!Date:

|Indicates the date of creation of the bookmark

|}

Avoid using these details in your bookmarks to simplify their labels. Also, you can arrange the location of the columns according to your choice.

====Example of labelling: the Agony style====

In this subsection we will discuss and summarize the [http://www.agony-unleashed.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.17 Agony Unleashed style]. This style may seem a bit complex at first, but after some practice it becomes very clear and easy to recognize and use.

The Agony style is based around the concept of using different brackets to define the object or place the bookmark points to. Some of the brackets of the style contain multiple characters - so-called composite brackets.

~~====Examples for Bookmark Labels====~~

~~An example for labeling is the Agony Style. It may seem a bit complex but after some practice it becomes very clear and it's easy to recognize the style.~~

~~Some examples for the bookmarks we discussed above~~:
