Hi Paul,
Ricardo has given you the quick answer to using bookmarks. You can
read a more detailed description about general navigation of your
bookmarks in my archived post:

(Re: moving and deleting bookmarks)
I'll just briefly remark here that there is a general page for your
bookmarks that you access with Command-Option-B, which is the shortcut
for the "Show All Bookmarks" entry in Safari's Bookmarks menu. You'll
greatly simplify your navigation of that page, and improve your
understanding of its organization if you first hide your toolbar,
bookmarks bar, and tab bar -- all options that toggle between show and
hide with shortcuts listed in the View Menu on the menu bar (Command-
Shift-Backslash, Command-Shift-B, Command-Shift-T). At that point,
after you interact with the scroll area, pressing tab will move you
between three areas: a table of different collections of bookmarks
such as your navigation history, your Bookmarks Bar, your Bookmarks
Menu, and any folders you may have created to organize your bookmarks
on this page; a search text field that you can also move to directly
with Command-F, and a table listing individual bookmarks in your
selected bookmark collection by bookmark name and address. The
general action will be to interact with the table of collections and
select a bookmark collection or folder and then to tab to the table
listing the individual bookmark entries and interact, then navigate to
the bookmark of interest and activate it by pressing space bar. You
can also reduce the list of entries to navigate through in that second
table by using the search field to type in Bookmark names or parts of
bookmark names, and then only matching entries will be shown in the
second table. The usual navigation options of typing the first few
letters in the name of a bookmark to move to it and/or using your up
and down arrow keys will work here. There are also context menu
options for editing bookmark name or address, copying or deleting, etc.
As Ricardo mentioned, the first nine bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks
Bar on your Bookmarks page have the special property that they can be
launched by pressing the Command key together with the number of the
bookmark. (You can hide your bookmarks bar and still activate the
first nine bookmarks by pressing Command and the number from 1 to 9
for the bookmark you want.) However, note that whenever you save a
new bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar, it becomes bookmark number 1, and
displaces the previous first bookmark, which is now number 2, etc.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
You can press command D to bring up the bookmark dialog. From here
you can select to save the page to the bookmarks menu or, the
booksmarks bar. The bar allows you to press command plus a
corresponding number to bring up the site.

Hi list,
What is the simplest way of setting a bookmark for a page that you
want to return to later on? Once set, how do you find your list of
bookmarks and activate one?
