How-To Save a Website for Later

03.21.09

As a kid, going to the gas station with my mom was something I looked forward to. As soon as she would say, “I have to stop by the gas station”, the anticipation would start building. If I was ‘good’ going to the gas station could mean getting a special treat. My favorite was and still is Hot Tamales. Sometimes my Mom would get a treat too…usually Carmels or Junior Mints. After filling up the car we would drive off munching away with satisfied smiles on our faces.

My mom and I had very different ways of eating our treats. I was all about finishing every last morsel in one sitting, whereas my mom was a saver. She would always save a few for later. Our tendencies are still true to this day…I tend to consume information in broad brushstrokes and go on to the next thing quickly, Mom on the other hand occassionally likes to save…

Here’s a look how to save a website for later.

  1. Open your web browser (my mom uses Firefox)
  2. Enter the URL (website address) into the browser
  3. Click Enter (return)
  4. Wait for the page to load
  5. Click “Bookmarks”
  6. Click “Bookmark this page”
  7. Change the name of the bookmark to something you’ll recognize
  8. Click Done Click the Home icon
  9. Click Bookmarks navigate to and click the name of the page you just saved
