Hi Rafaela,
Your Safari bookmarks are what Internet Explorer would call favorites.
You can export bookmarks from any browser and import them into any
other browser -- that's platform independent. Safari lets you
organize your bookmarks menu into folders, and create new folders for
your bookmarks. A special folder under your Safari Bookmarks is the
"Bookmarks Bar". These are entries that can be displayed below your
Safari toolbar, and this bar is used by sighted users to store their
most frequently accessed bookmarks. Normally, I hide both the toolbar
and the bookmarks bar (from the View Menu options) when I use
VoiceOver, because these selections also show up in item chooser men,
and also show up when you tab or Option+tab (depending on your
preference settings) through selections when they are viewable. The
exception is on my iPad, where I use these for touch navigation!
The special feature of the Bookmarks bar is that the first 9 bookmarks
placed in this folder can be accessed by pressing Command+a number key
that is the number of the bookmark in the Bookmarks bar. This works
whether or not the Bookmarks bar is hidden.
If you have MobileMe, then any changes to either your iPhone Bookmarks
or your Mac Bookmarks will get synced to the other device.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Esther, is there a way to manually arrange the order of the
bookmarks in the bookmarks bar?
On the Mac, you'd have to use copy and paste to manually reorder
the bookmarks bar entries. If you have MobileMe, and sync your
bookmarks, then the easy thing to do is reorder the bookmarks in
Safari on your iPhone as follows:
1. Open the Safari app
2. Double tap the "Bookmarks" button on the bottom of the screen
(4th of 5, from left to right; so you could do a four finger flick
down to move to the last element on the screen, then flick left,
and double tap).
3. On the Bookmarks screen, flick right to your "Bookmarks Bar" and
double tap.
4. Double tap the "Edit" button in the bottom left corner of the
"Bookmarks Bar" screen
5. Run your finger up and down the center of the screen to hear the
listed bookmarks. To reorder a bookmark, move your finger to the
right edge of the screen. VoiceOver will say "Reorder <name of
bookmark>, button, draggable".
6. Use the VoiceOver double tap and hold pass through gesture.
(You can do this from anywhere on the screen, providing the
"Reorder" button has focus before you start.) Move the bookmark up
or down on the screen to the desired position before lifting your
finger from the screen. You'll hear a clink each time you shift
position and VoiceOver will announce the change (e.g., "Moved above
<other bookmark name>").
7. When you're finished, double tap the "Done" button in the bottom
left corner of the screen to exit edit mode.
8. To return to the main Bookmarks menu, double tap the "Bookmarks,
back button" in the top left corner of the screen.
9. You're done, and you can exit Safari.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
