Honestly? Not to.

Allow the user to bookmark it through normal means - it's among the first
things a user will learn to do. "Bookmark this site" seems a plea of
desperation. If it's worthwhile for them to do so, they will without your
asking.

Like this:

<p>If you want to come back to this page later, you can use your
browser's "bookmarks" or "favorites" feature to store its URI for later
retrieval.</p>

Maybe, "Bookmarks->Bookmark This Page" or "Favorites->Add to Favorites".

Why on earth do you need to reproduce behavior that works perfectly well
within the browser? I realize that people are mostly not very bright when
it comes to using computers but maybe just a message to the effect, "If
you are too dumb to know how to bookmark this site then here's how: blah
blah"

I mean, using JavaScript or something to reinvent the wheel just seems
silly.

Robin:

first of all that isn't html,

Generally anything related to the webpage is considered on-topic here.
You'll see CSS, Javascript, PHP questions from time to time.
