Email and print links

by billso on Monday, 4 June 2007

Thanks to Lester Chan, I’ve added links that will email and print posts and pages.

These links are avail­able at the bot­tom of each post and page. The fol­low­ing screen­shot pro­vides an exam­ple from my APA for­mat­ting page:

The email link allows users to email one post or page every ten min­utes. It also uses a captcha sys­tem to foil villains.

The print link removes the side­bars and menus from the page, giv­ing a clean look to the printed version.

This print link gen­er­ates text that is easy to view on a phone or PDA. I’ve been using a mobi­liz­ing option on this blog, but that option can’t remove the menus or sidebars.

The print link also prints the actual URL for every link on the page or post. Some Web users like that par­tic­u­lar feature.
