Tip #3890 - MyPage
Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
Q:
I came across something the other day called MyPage. I thought it looked
interesting, but I couldn't find a whole lot out about it. Do you have
any information on it?
A:
I sure do and I'm really glad you asked! I'm going to go right into it
today, so get ready and let's go!
When you make a printout
of a Web page, most of the time, doesn't a whole bunch of useless information
print out along with it? For example, you print a page and along with
the information you need, you also get ads, banners, logos, Web toolbars,
etc. It can be very frustrating and on top of that, all that wasted ink
adds up, doesn't it?! Certain Web sites (like WorldStart.com, for instance)
have printer friendly versions, but a lot of others don't. What can you
do then?
Well, today I have
a solution to this printing problem! I am proud to introduce you to the
MyPage bookmarklet. This allows you to make any Web site
printer friendly. Cool, huh?!
To start using it,
just follow these directions:
1.) First, add the
bookmarklet. To read about what bookmarklets are and how you can add them
for yourself, just click here.
2.) After you add
it, go to a Web page that you’d like to print.
Now, click the bookmarklet,
which will look like this: 
3.) Next, select one
or multiple elements (such as text, images, animations, ads, etc.) on
the page and they will be highlighted.
4.) You can then use the shortcut keys to remove and isolate the elements.
Then you will be able to print the page, without wasting any ink. This
bookmarklet puts you in control of everything you print!
5.) Here are all the shortcut keys you'll need to remember:
| Shortcut
Key |
Description |
| R |
Removes the selected
elements. |
| I |
Isolates the
selected elements. |
| U |
Undo removal. |
| W |
Widens the highlighted
area. |
| B |
Go backwards
to the previous element. |
| N |
Go forward to
the next element. |
| E |
Edit the HTML
of the last selected element (advanced). |
| C |
Copy the last
selected element (duplicate is placed directly after the original). |
| D |
Deselects all
selected elements. |
| Esc |
Exit/Quit. |
Have fun!
