The Safari Web browser on your iPad allows you to save your favorite Web pages as Bookmarks, making it easy to access them at a later time. In this tutorial you will learn how it is done.

First, open your Safari browser by tapping on the Safari icon, normally located on your iPad Home Screen.

Safari Toolbar

Your Safari browser window should now be displayed on your iPad. Navigate to the Web page that you wish to add as a Bookmark. In the example above, I have gone to http://D106/compute/. Once the desired page has finished loading, tap on the toolbar button circled in the image above.

Safari Menu

A menu should now be displayed on top of your Safari browser window. Select the choice labeled Add Bookmark.

Add Bookmark

The Add Bookmark screen should now be displayed. In the example above, notice the field containing the following text: About.com Computing. This text is editable and can be changed to whatever you desire. It is important, as this is the title which will be listed in Safari's Bookmarks. Once you are done, select the Save button.

You should now be taken back to the main Safari browser window. Select the Bookmarks button, located at the top of the screen and circled in the example above.

The Bookmarks Menu should now be displayed on your iPad screen. In the example above, notice that About.com Computing & ... has been added. To access that Web page at a later time, simply select it from this menu.
