If you don't know how to copy and paste URLs
Often when I quote something for you the software at that site doesn't
allow me (for whatever the reason) to copy a word button that will take
you to that site so you can actually read it from the original site that
published it in the first place. So, then I have to use the url. But,
if you don't know how to copy and paste urls (URls are the thing that
starts with http: or www.) (By the way Http: simply means it is in the
hypertext markup language and there are also many variations to this now
as well.)
Each Web site manager or web technician or both have their own style of writing code and have their own tricks in place that fit their company that they represent. So, I have to honor their stance as a blogger and be sure to quote and give full credit to whoever wrote it and wherever it is from either through a url or a word button that will take you there (as long as the web designer attached the word button to an actual url so your computer takes you there).
So, what I'm saying is if you don't know how to use a url on your computer, what you can do is open another window at Google.com and then type in the name of the article. Sometimes I make a different title other than the article name for a variety of reasons. But right above where the article usually starts is a title and if you put that title into Google.com usually you can find that same article immediately by so doing. Thanks.
Later note: In order to learn how to copy and paste URLs you have to have something at the top of your screen that starts with https: or Http: If you don't have anything like that at the top of your screen right now (if you are on a computer) it means that your mode has been changed for some reason to a non-url mode where you can only click on word buttons. In order to copy and paste urls you have to be in a mode on your computer to have an http: or something like that or a www. at the top. So, if you want to cut and paste urls that is what you need and the easiest way would be to ask a tech (or someone knowledgeable in your family like anyone between 9 years old to about 30 who has been to school and studied about keyboards and computers). Also, I was noticing that sometimes my site here has https:// while composing but if I'm in view blog mode it doesn't have http: at all it just has: intuitivefred888.blogspot.com
To copy and paste you should look up at the top to see (above the url line running along the top usually in white you should see (i'm in firefox as It is usually more secure from tampering) in firefox it says across the top Firefox then "file" then "Edit" then "View"
Click on edit and then a menu will drop down (from top to bottom you will see "Undo" "Redo" "cut" "copy" "Paste" and so up if you are reading top to bottom. Sometimes I use Undo if my copy mode hasn't actuated right to undo any mistakes it makes when I don't grab and copy certain information right. But, generally (about 80% to 90% of the time it works perfectly). So, if you want to grab some information (in this case your URL you want) take your cursor (your mouse mark) and move it to what you want to copy. The holding the left part of your mouse down drag it from right to left or left to right over the url you want to copy. Also, on my Macbook pro I have to left click and right click held down both as I drag it over whatever I want to copy. Usually that covers the url in blue. now lift up and usually it will stay in blue which means it is now copyable. Now move your cursor (mouse mark) up to the edit function at the top of the page and click on edit. While what you want to copy is still all blue move down and click "copy". Then open another window and put your cursor (mouse mark at the URL line) If the url line is empty completely. If it is not empty sometime you can move your cursor through it as long as you don't hit copy again. Then if you just hit your space bar what is in that url box should just disappear if you turned it blue, sometimes gray or yellow or orange or whatever your computer does. Now, put your cursor there in the box again (if it didn't stay there) and now go up to "Edit" and hit paste. If you now hit enter and you successfully copied all the pieces of the url it should then take you to the page you want.
This is the basic principle of how I compose or move urls or word buttons or anything in order to create this blog for you. Many times it is much faster to copy and paste than writing all sorts of stuff to your blog or to Word so you can print out 1 or 100 pages all at the same time doing this. Or you can create a blog this way as long as you are at Blogger.com and are in the compose mode and not the html mode while doing all this. Though you can also copy pictures this way often people are more sensitive about this than other things so be careful of that in respecting people's copyrights regarding pictures. So, my rule of thumb is if I'm copying and sharing with you an article with a picture or pictures in it that's okay. But, if it is an artist who makes a living by selling their art I try to be respectful of their livelihood.
Also, in regard to quoting articles from anywhere you are going to generally increase traffic and therefore wealth of many online publications by sharing stuff at your blog. So, for most people as long as you as respectful by putting "end quote from:" a specific source so people know you didn't write this but see who did, this also increases the traffic and sometimes wealth of people at that site. So, it is in their interests to have you blog about whatever they are doing there at that site.
