| How To Save New York Times Articles |
The Built-In Bookmark Butler: Your First Line of Defense
The New York Times offers a nifty little feature called "Saved Articles." Just sign up for a free account (or use your existing one, you digital packrat, you) and you can click that handy "Save" button found on most articles. Voila! Your article is tucked away neatly in your own personal library, accessible from any device as long as you're logged in. It's like having a digital butler whispering, "Don't worry, I got this!" every time you find a must-read.
But wait, there's more! You can even create folders to categorize your saved articles. Imagine it: a folder for "Hilarious Political Cartoons" right next to another one titled "Articles That Make Me Feel Like a Genius Because I Actually Understood Them." The possibilities are endless!
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Befriending Your Browser's "Save As" Option: The Old-School Way
Maybe you're a creature of habit, or perhaps the idea of a "Saved Articles" folder makes you nervous (sentient bookmarks, anyone?). No worries, my friend! You can channel your inner internet archaeologist and use your browser's "Save As" function. This will create a .html file of the article, allowing you to read it offline whenever the mood strikes (or the wifi cuts out). Just be aware that this saves the entire webpage, including pictures and ads, which might not be ideal for everyone.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can convert that .html file to a cleaner format like plain text using a free online tool. Just search for "convert html to text" and let the internet do its magic!
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
PDF Power: Printing Without the Paper Cuts
For those who like the feel of a "real" document," you can always use the "Print" function and choose 'Save as PDF' instead of your actual printer. This creates a clean and portable PDF of the article, perfect for storing on your computer or sharing with friends who haven't quite embraced the digital age yet. (We all have that one uncle, right?)
Just remember: Copyright is a thing, so don't go out there selling these PDFs on the internet. Sharing with friends and family for personal use is A-Okay, but becoming a digital pirate is a big no-no.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
