NARFI Rural Resource Directory
Editor Bookmarklet for MS Internet Explorer
| Directory Editors Welcome! |
To make your voluntary Editor contributions quick and easy, we are offering this easy-to-configure and easy-to-install bookmarklet, a Javascript 'mini-app' you can place on your browser's Links toolbar. Once installed, you'll be able to 'quick click' any page or website you visit as a suggested link to the NARFI Rural Resource Directory.
Hot Tip: This bookmarklet 'plucks' the URL, page title AND whatever text you have selected in your browser view which is supplied as the description field in the Add a Resource window opened by the bookmarklet. This makes your NARFI Rural Resources Directory submissions quick, easy and accurate. Thanks for your help.
