Save Time - Automatically Merge a Multi Page Web Article into One Page for Easier Reading
Have you encountered an article (or list) which has been broken up into numerous Web pages, where you have to keep clicking "Next" to read more? If so, you can save time by reaching for "PageZipper".
PageZipper is a free bookmarklet, that when clicked to activate, automatically searches for all the "Next" links and merges all found pages into one. As a result, you will now have one long scrolling page, wherein you can jump to your desired place in the article/list. Among a couple of other limitations (e.g., the bookmarklet works best on English Web sites), PageZipper only works on those pages where standard hyperlink syntax is being used to create the "Next" links. An example of where this bookmarklet enables efficient reading is a six page New York Times article (linked below) entitled "Drivers and Legislators Dismiss Cellphone Risks": http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/technology/19distracted.html Once you click on the PageZipper bookmarklet in your browser's toolbar, and start scrolling down the first page, a page navigation box (please see the browser screen capture above) will appear. As you continue to scroll down the first page, the next page will automatically appear until all six pages of this article are merged into just one page for easier reading. To de-activate the bookmarklet, just refresh the Web page. You can obtain the free PageZipper bookmarklet from: http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/pagezipper For further information about how a non profit organization can develop a productive virtual volunteering program through the use of appropriate technology, please visit this Online Volunteering Resource.
