      I like to give all of my favorite web sites a one or two letter keyword. The process is very simple, but just because I like holding hands (I'm 6th grade that way), it might go a little something like this:

      You visit http://lifehacker.com and find out it's got your most favorite content in all the world. You don't want to have to type in that whole address thirty times every day, so instead you hit Ctrl-D (replace Ctrl with Cmd on Macs), type in a keyword of 'l' and hit enter. Now anytime you're ready to visit Lifehacker, you'll hit Ctrl-L (the keyboard shortcut for the address bar), type, 'l', and hit Enter. Easy, right?



      Of course, first letters run out quickly, so in the off chance that there's another web site that begins with an "L" that you like more than Lifehacker (say it ain't so!), you can add letters based on other intuitive methods (for example, Lifehacker could be easily remembered as 'lh' or 'li').
