DeviantART - Keywords — Description
He had NFA about the TWAs, so we told him to RTFM otherwise it would have been FUBAR'dTM

DescriptionMozilla Firefox has an inbuild function called "Keywords", which allows the quick translation of a test string entered into the location bar so that it can be passed through a URL (or JavaScript command) for further use.

An example would be Google - in Firefox, type "google deviantart" and you will be sent to the Google.com result page for a search for "deviantart".

This short tutorial will explain how to use this function to improve your dA Experience.

How To Make Your Own Keyword Links
Click on "Bookmarks"
Click on "Manage Bookmarks"
Select the Bookmark Folder to store these keyword links in.
(Personally I use the existing "Quick Searches" folder, but you can use any folder).
Click the "New Bookmark..." button.
Fill out the fields like this:
Name:
- Whatever you want the name of the link to be (Only visible in the bookmark lists).
Location:
- The URL you want to go to. Substitute the section of the url you want to enter via the location bar (ie in the earlier example the "deviantart" keyword), with "%s"
Keyword:
- The Keyword you want to use to invoke this bookmark. Must be unique.
Description:
- A description of what this bookmark is, and how it works. Useful to phrase like "Type 'keywork <string>' to .....".
