Revisiting Web Pages Time and Again
Surfing the web would be a real drag if you had to enter a URL every time you want to navigate
from one page to another. That's why bookmarks, Web Clips, Reading lists, and History lists are so
useful. All so you can find those favorite websites in the future.

You already know how useful bookmarks are and how you can synchronize bookmarks from the
browsers on your computer. It's equally simple to bookmark a web page directly on the iPad. Follow
these steps:
1.
Make sure that the page you want to bookmark is open, and then tap the Action button
at the top of the screen.
The Action button looks like an arrow trying to escape a rectangle. You have many options
beyond bookmarking when you tap the Action button (refer to Figure
4-1
, though not all
the options are visible in the figure). You can tap Message, Mail, Twitter, or Facebook. Sina
Weibo and Tencent Weibo (Chinese variations of Twitter) are also available, provided you ad-
ded a Chinese keyboard in Settings (see Chapter
2
). Or you can tap Bookmark, Add to Read-
ing List, Add to Home Screen, Copy, and Print, as we show you here. You can also use the
wireless feature called AirDrop to share the page with people nearby via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
See Chapter
13
to find out how to use AirDrop.
2.
Tap Bookmark.
A new Add Bookmark window opens with a default name for the bookmark, its web address,
and its folder location.
3.
Give it a name and folder location:
•
Accept the default bookmark name and default bookmark folder:
Tap Save.
•
Change the default bookmark name:
Tap the X in the circle next to the name,
enter the new title (using the virtual keyboard), and then tap Save.
•
Change the location where the bookmark is saved:
Tap the > symbol to the right
of the suggested location (likely Favorites), tap the folder where you want the
bookmark to be kept so that a check mark appears, and then tap Save.
To open a bookmarked page after you set it up, tap the Bookmarks icon to the right of the smart
search field. (Refer to Figure
4-1
.)
