    Bookmarking Websites

    While using Safari on the iPad, you need to bookmark some of the sites you visit most often. This can give you quick access to the information you need the most.

    1. Use Safari to navigate to any web page.

    2. Tap the boxed arrow button at the top of the screen.

    3. Choose Add Bookmark.

    4. Edit the title of the bookmark. The official title of the web page is prefilled, but you can use the keyboard to change it. You can tap the X to clear the text and start fresh.

    Print It

    You’ll also notice the Print button when you tap the same button you use to create bookmarks. If you are using a printer compatible with Apple’s AirPlay technology in your iPad, you can send the current page to a printer attached to your network. See “Printing from Your iPad” in Chapter 18 for details.

    5. Tap the Bookmarks folder name to select a folder to place the bookmark.

    • You can save bookmarks to a folder called the Bookmarks Bar. These appear as buttons at the top of your browser. Only save the most important bookmarks to the Bookmarks Bar folder. These always show up at the top of your Safari screen.

    • The titles of web pages are often long and descriptive. It is a good idea to shorten the title to something you can easily recognize, especially if it is a web page that you plan to visit often. Shorter names also save space in the bookmarks bar.

    • You can create folders of bookmarks in your Bookmarks Bar folder. These appear as their own pop-up menu when you tap them, giving you direct access to a subset of your bookmarks.

    Reading Lists

    You can also put bookmarks into a special Reading List using the Add to Reading List button. This is a good way to temporarily bookmark a page you want to revisit one more time. The Reading List is like your Bookmarks, and you can get to it in the same place. But it is just a simple list of pages without subfolders. It is also possible to view All or only Unread items in the list. So after checking out the page a second time from your Reading List, it will no longer appear as Unread.
