Bookmarks are like social bookmarking.  You can add a book mark, and then when you click on that in Elgg, it takes you to a page where users can comment on your link.  There's a button that says "Visit Resource" that will take you to the resource.

When I create a new book mark... where do I enter the "address/location" of the resource.. I tried to enter a website (i.e. www.google.com) as a bookmark, saved it, and then came out and click on "Visit resource" but it didn't take me to google.com...  How should the "address / location" of the resource be filled out?  Thanks.

Dan you need to add http:// before the address eg:  http://www.google.com

oh great.  thanks!

just a related question... if i want to bookmark an elgg page, photo album, etc... do I have to copy the full URL (http://......) or can I bookmark a more friendly address? 

thanks
