You will find many uses for it so I am going to show you How to Copy and Paste a Link URL.
First it would be handy to know some internet lingo, specifically URL. URL is an acronym for uniform resource locator which is basically a web address. So when I say copy and paste the URL you now know it’s the web address.
Where to find the URL
All pages on the internet have a unique URL which can be found in the address bar of the web browser.
How to copy a URL
1. Navigate to the page you want and copy the URL by highlighting it all with your mouse, right-click and copy. It is now copied to your clipboard.
2. Now navigate to where you want to paste the URL and right-click and paste.
It is important to know that pasting a URL does not automatically add a hyperlink to it. Nor should you be using a URL as the link text for a hyperlink. This is because most URL’s are not pretty and don’t have meaning. Read more about meaningful hyperlinks here.
Pasting a URL on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter will dynamically turn the URL into a hyperlink. That’s unique to them.
Now that you know where and what a URL is you’ll be able to copy and paste it in all sorts of places. I’m now going to copy the URL of this page and paste it into Facebook, you can too.
