In Netscape Communicator, I go to Edit Bookmarks, create a new
folder with the broad subject heading and close.  Then I go back into
Bookmarks and do File Bookmark and dump the site in.  This forces me
to create a new folder for the subject heading--I don't allow myself
to just dump the sites into one file.  It creates a mess.  Better to
take a few seconds right then and there to create a folder.  You can
always insert separators later.
