Copy all your favorites to a spreadsheet

export links menu If you want to build a personal database of links you can copy all your favorites simply to Excel using a simple tool I already had a look at here on Hack Your Day. In How to copy links easily I showed you how to productively copy all links on a page, or all selected ones. All you need is a Firefox extensions called Copy Links and some organization of favorites.

If you go to favorites and organize favorites you can export all this info by going to file and export. The file is saved in html format, which you can open, and view your link list. Now all you need to do is select all, or just the ones you want and copy using Copy Links. You can then paste it into Excel, it will place each link one after another.

If you have links mixed up and you need a bunch from here and there, create a new folder and drag all the links you eed in there. When you export, links are grouped by folder, so you can easily select the ones you need.
