Rudy's Tip---E-Mail A Web Page

Want To email a Web Page?


Some sites, like PCWorld, have an e-mail icon at the bottom of each news item, review,
blog post, and the like, but not all sites do. What's more, when you click that icon, you have to know (and type in) the address of the person you want to share it with. This could be a hassle depending where your address book is located. The most common solution is to just copy and paste the text into the body of an e-mail, but that can result in a loss of formatting and any artwork or video that might be included. Plus, it doesn't include the actual link, which is what most people want.

So, how do you share a Web page with someone? Simple: Click once in your browser's
address bar to highlight the Web address (this works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer), then press Ctrl-C to copy that address to the Windows clipboard. Now create a new e-mail message in whatever program or Web service you use, then press Ctrl-V to paste the address into the body of the e-mail. Simple as that!

Your Web browser makes this even easier. In Internet Explorer 8. Click Page, then select Send Link by E-mail. In Firefox, select File, Send Link.
