Everyday, I discover pages in websites that I want to save. They may be in a WA post about a great resource for blogging. They may be emailed to me by a friend as a link to an interesting website. More often than not, I stumble on great websites while searching another subject. I can save websites as favorites or bookmark them. I prefer just keep the page URL

There are some advantages to saving URLs as opposed to designating favorites or bookmarking sites.

  • URLs are precise. They take me to the exact page I want to visit.
  • URLs are easy to save in categories making them easy to retrieve.
  • URLs can be saved offline.
  • URLs are easily copied and pasted.

Its fairly easy for me to retrieve the permalink for a page or post by going to site manager. I just have to:

  • Open WA
  • Open Site Manager
  • Log into the appropriate website.
  • Open the appropriate page or post.
  • Copy the permalink.

But its easier for me, to retrieve that permalink saved outside of site manager. I just have to:

  • Open the correct note
  • Copy the permalink.

Next I want to talk about the format in which to save a URL.

Thanks for the information. I have been just bookmarking sites and your suggestions are a much better way. I already use Word to make posts and pages and it is always open on my toolbar so having a second folder open for websites will clear up my overloaded bookmarks toolbar. Just hadn't thought of it.

Thanks again.

I really needed this post...My email gets flooded with new trainings and a I write then all down and I have pages full and I am on over load on where to put all this. I have Evernote and I never thought about putting them in there. This just saved me so much time. Thank you for this time saving training. Be Blessed

I'm the same with saving pages I have many.
Thank you for leaving instructions on how to do that with our websites here. I've been on for a few days and everything helps :) Looking forward to your next post on the format to save an URL.
