Save or Print that Webpage

If there's a website that has information you need, save the page to your hard drive or print it out for your own personal use again later. You never know when a website will go down forever. There was a website of cemetery inscriptions for one cemetery that after being up for ten years went "away." And those inscriptions are not on any other cemetery website. Lesson learned.

    The "Way Back Machine" can sometimes show you the archived webpage you wanted to get to:

    I use my snipping tool... and use a system for topic with a number extension [.001, .002, .003 etc] that way I have a clipping of what is important, without alot of note taking. If the page is big... I will start with the weblink at .000
