Pro-Tip: Make sure to save the bookmark in your "Bookmarks Bar" (or "Favorites Bar"). This is the strip of icons just below the address bar, giving you one-click access to your favorite topics!
Mobile Devices
This method saves the link to your browser's internal bookmarks list, perfect for users who like to organize their saved pages inside the browser app.
Chrome (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then tap the Star Icon (⭐).
Safari (iOS/iPadOS)
Tap the Share Icon (↑ - a square with an up arrow), then select "Add Bookmark."
Firefox (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then tap the Star Icon (⭐).
DuckDuckGo (Android/iOS)
Tap the three-dot menu (⋮ or …) in the corner, then select "Bookmark" or "Add to Favorites."
Option 2: The Desktop/Laptop Shortcut (The Instant Launchpad)
Want to bypass the browser entirely and launch straight to a specific category? A Desktop Shortcut (or equivalent) is your secret weapon. This is the most browser-agnostic method for computers!
- Navigate: Go to the specific news category page you wish to save (e.g., “Pickleball").
- Locate the Site Icon: In the address bar (where the web address is shown), look for the small icon on the far left. It's often a padlock or a globe.
- Drag and Drop (The Universal Way): Click and drag that small site icon directly out of the address bar and onto your desktop.
- Rename/Complete Setup:
-
- Windows: The shortcut is created automatically. Rename the file (e.g., "The Palm Post: Activities").
- Mac: The Alias is created automatically. Rename the file.
- Linux (GNOME/KDE): When you drop the icon, you may need to right-click the file, go to Properties, and set its file type to "Link" or "Web Application" and ensure it's marked as Executable. Rename the file.
This drag-and-drop method is the equivalent of a digital red-carpet entrance! It works in virtually every major desktop browser, giving you a direct launchpad to the latest scoop, regardless of your operating system.
Option 3: The Mobile Home Screen Icon (The App Look-Alike)
This is the most common request: making the category look like an app on your smartphone or tablet's home screen.
For iPhone / iPad (Safari & DuckDuckGo):
- Open your browser (Safari or DuckDuckGo) and navigate to the specific news category page.
- Tap the Share Icon (↑ - a square with an up arrow).
- Scroll down the menu and tap "Add to Home Screen."
- You can edit the name (e.g., "MCRSLW Pickleball"). Tap "Add."
- An icon now appears on your home screen for instant access!
For Android (Chrome, Firefox, & DuckDuckGo):
- Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or DuckDuckGo) and navigate to the specific news category page.
- Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
- Tap "Add to Home Screen" (Chrome) or "Install" or "Add Page Shortcut" (Firefox, depending on version).
- Edit the name if desired (e.g., "MCRSLW Shuffleboard"). Tap "Add."
- An icon is placed on your home screen!
Still Have Questions?
We hope this clarifies the path to saving your preferred topics! Because every device and app is slightly different, the key is to look for the Star icon (⭐), the Three-Dot Menu (⋮), or the Share Icon (↑)-these are the universal signs for saving or sharing a link!
