But, what I do as well is to make up a simple HTML table matrix - the
columns colour-coded, with all my frequently used links: so for
example,
one column has Exeter products, another 'Basic data' (i.e. raw data'),
another climatological data etc., etc. Nothing fancy with this table,
just enough formatting to help the eye find the date required

Most of us monitoring the weather (whatever aspect) have a set of
favourite & frequently used links. These can of course be kept within
the 'Favorite'/'Bookmark' sections of the browser, and you can back
these up.

This is how I do just this in a slightly different way.

It is actually just an example and my own version is slightly more detailed.
But it is easy, safe (uploaded to my webhost) and accessible from anywhere.

It won't all work when you try it. For example, some sites need passwords.
But it might form the basis for something you want to set up yourselves.

Sorry guys, the same old questions but I`ve just had to rebuild my
PC and
lost my links to lightning websites. Any help would be appreciated.

... I've noticed that this question comes up now and then, and it is
understandable that this causes problems when systems are re-built or
otherwise need upgrading. I've got scores of links myself which I find
difficult to manage well. So, a few years ago, I came up with the
following, which may help for all sorts of reasons.

Most of us monitoring the weather (whatever aspect) have a set of
favourite & frequently used links. These can of course be kept within
the 'Favorite'/'Bookmark' sections of the browser, and you can back
these up.

But, what I do as well is to make up a simple HTML table matrix - the
columns colour-coded, with all my frequently used links: so for example,
one column has Exeter products, another 'Basic data' (i.e. raw data'),
another climatological data etc., etc. Nothing fancy with this table,
just enough formatting to help the eye find the date required.

One of the cells is labelled 'Current Weather' (anyone having been
through Stanmore or Shinfield will know why), and this links to another
matrix of links to favourites, which would include things like
lightning, satellite output, plotted charts etc.

The primary matrix file is then made my 'Home' page on the browser I use
(I have Netscape use this as it's home page ... then use IE for a more
general home page), so that at any time, I just click on 'Home', and the
matrix comes up without having to select Bookmarks etc.

But there are other advantages:
First, it gets around the problem of losing bookmarks, because you save
this very small file (7 KB) onto a floppy or USB media storage, and then
no matter what, if all else fails you can load this back to your new /
revamped system to get up and running quickly. The 'Current Weather file
is also small (in my case 12 KB).

Second, if you are away from home, at work or with friends, you take
along your floppy/USB stick and plug it in .. load up that systems
browser, then simply 'Open' your file(s) and there you a all your
favourite sites ready for use.

HTH
