SENDING WEB PAGES

When I find a great web page and want to share it with others, I prefer to send it via my own e-mail , rather than use one of the several recommend-a-site services available. These "free" services are also filled with banner ads, and some have annoying pop-up screens. Therefore, I find it more convenient to send the web page on my own.

1. USING YOUR WEB BROWSER (Netscape)

• Click on FILE in your web browser (at the top ).
• Then click on SEND or SEND PAGE.
• The e-mail screen should pop up.
• Enter the e-mail address of the person you wish to send the page to.
• The URL (web page address) should already be in the body of the e-mail message . You can add some comments, if you wish.
• Now your message is ready to SEND

2. USE YOUR OWN E-MAIL PROGRAM

• Prepare an E-mail to your friend then COPY (by pressing "Control + C" on the keyboard) the address of the page you would like to send (http://...).
• PASTE (by pressing "Control + V" on the keyboard) the address into the body of your e-mail and add any other comments you wish.
• Now you are ready to send your e-mail.
