I have used my blog spot to record the info, as above and utilised the very nature of the exercise to organise the websites listed above via the title of the exercise ' Organising search information task', I could also include it in my favourites on my IE but this would be duplication and after this unit is completed I would be deleting them and maintaining my minimalist favourites list as is my discipline. Maintaining these websites info on my blogspot means I can access them anywhere I can connect to the internet and not just on my PC.
