== How to create the bookmarklet -- super easy instructions! ==

[[File:WebRef citation tool.png|thumb|The bookmark (bookmarklet) doesn't take you to a different page, all it does is run the JavaScript saved in it: a text box with the Cite Web template pops up at the top of the page you are currently on, after clicking on it.]]This is actually super easy to set up. I do computer support for friends and family, so let's first ditch all the jargon.: Thisfor all intents and purposes a bookmarklet is whatnothing youmore needthan toa do:bookmark with special instructions in the URL.

This is what you need to do:

* In your '''favorite browser''' open any web page that you ''haven't'' bookmarked yet. Make a bookmark -- I put mine on the Bookmarks bar for easy access.
