How to Copy a URL
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a website refers to its Internet address. This address location can be found at the box at the top of your web browser. It usually begins with "http://," which stands for "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol," and has an ending like ".com," which signifies that the website is commercial. It can also end with ".org," indicating a nonprofit organization, or ".gov," indicating a government site. Copying this address allows you to send the exact webpage to friends so they can see what you see.
