    That was super easy - thank you for doing such a great tutorial, unlike some that takes 10 mins and takes you all over the place and confuses you - this was great. You are a great teacher.

    Excellent instructions, thank you very much!! I’m am such a novice when it comes to computers, but with good instructions I can pick things up quite easily. I wish I was more into computers when I was at school, but they were just starting to become part of everyday world back then and there weren’t really any proper computer classes then. Now I see young kids at age 11 writing codes and I’ve no clue as to what they’re doing, but it’s impressive.

    If you are at a site and want to save a linkto it. Either touch or use the mouse to highlight, then right-click, select "cut" or "copy and either touch or left click. Then either leave or minimuse the site, use the method shownhere, but instead of typing the page, you will paste it into the message input box and then do the rest. Also you can make the link right in the folder you wish to keep it in

    @WhatAboutNepal 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I live in Nepal, retired American widow, and started an NGO to help Nepal. It's the second poorest country outside of Africa. I was wondering if a person could create such a button and put it on a website for donors to click on so they can go to the page I direct them to go to so they can help support us. Would you be willing to create a video about it? I couldn't find it via search on TH-cam. If I could ask people to put it on their desktop and use it for shopping it wouldn't cost them anything and they would have the shopping portal more easily accessible. I think it would be better than patreon. Someone said there was a way to do it, but I'm not a detail person to figure it out myself.
