Webpages for Sidebar

This is in continuation of the post by Ajit on his blog.

Read the post here

He has mentioned a method to open webpages in the sidebar. But then you might not want to open pages with heavy content in the sidebar. Infact you might actually waste time rather than saving it in an attempt to handle a normal webpage in the side. So here I mention links of a few webpages that have minimal content and therefore can be very handy.
(You can click on the name of the site to see the type of page that you'll get in the sidebar. Right now it'll open up in a pop-up window but you can make it open in the sidebar using the the script that Ajit mentions or method that follows the links)

One thing that he hasn't mentioned (though he was the one to tell me about it) is a simpler way to make bookmarked pages open up in the sidebar. Here is the method :
1. You bookmark the link you want to open up in the sidebar
2. Then you go to the bookmark manager and select the properties of this link that you've bookmarked. In case it is in the personal toolbar then just right click on that bookmark and select properties.
3. In the window that shows up you select the 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar' button.

Thats it. You are done.

I was certainly not bothered by the information about opening webpages in sidebars. However, incorrect usage of the English language did appall me. For instance,
...continuation (to) the...
...mentioned (of) a method...
...one thing that he has(e)n't...
* texts included in parentheses are incorrect

PS: Please bear with me!
