Handy html symbol codes

These are html codes I use all the time. To insert one of these codes, just hold down your ALT key while typing the code into your number keypad. (Be sure your NumLock is off). So, to make an em dash, just hold down the alt key and hit 0151 on your keypad. Voila! An em-dash!

ALT + 0178 = ² (superscript 2, squared number)
ALT + 0179 = ³ (superscript 3, cubed number)
ALT + 0153 = ™ (trademark symbol)
ALT + 0181 = µ (micron symbol)
ALT + 0151 = — (em dash, my personal favorite!)
ALT + 0177 = ± (plus or minus symbol)
ALT + 0174 = ® (registered trademark symbol)
ALT + 0169 = © (copyright symbol)
ALT + 0176 = ° (degree symbol)
ALT + 0149 = • (bullet)
ALT + 0160 = (non-breaking space)

Make Any Web Page Print Friendly

Do you have pages on your website with dense content that your viewers may want to print out to read later or pass along to a friend who isn't online? Or, for the environmentally-friendly non-clutterbugs, maybe they want to save your content as a PDF that they can refer to later?

Here's a new tool that will greatly simplify this process: http://www.printfriendly.com/

Just enter your URL in the box (works best with dense copy) and the site will generate a clean, printer-friendly file or PDF.

Web developers like 4Next can use the "get button" link to copy this code onto your website. Or if you already have a "Share" bar on your site, we can direct your share bar to this page.

Thanks to client Doug Rigdon for sending me a Blog post that uses this technology!
