| Why do I need this? |
You're reading a webpage on your laptop, but you have to go. You want to continue reading it on your smartphone — or in my case, an iPod touch — but it's too much hassle and fuss to type a long web address on the device's little keyboard. QR my Page is the solution to this problem. |
| A Bookmarklet
This is the QR my Page bookmarklet. Click it to generate a scannable barcode of the current page's web address. Next, use your smartphone's built-in camera + a (free) QR scanning app to scan the barcode. The web page opens automatically. No typing required. |

| Installation
To install, simply click & drag it into the bookmark bar of your web browser — works with Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome. | 
|
| Click OK to confirm the button name. | 
|
| Now simply press the QR my Page button to generate a QR code of the current webpage... | 
|
| A window will open with a QR barcode big enough to scan right off the screen.
The QR scanner app will convert the barcode into a URL, and hand it off to the web browser. | 
|
| Here are a few QR scanning apps for the iPhone & iPod touch... |

QR my Page is also handy for sharing a webpage with a friend, via your smartphone or iPod touch. To install, paste this code into a new bookmark on your smartphone or iPod's web browser... | javascript:window.open('http://qrcode.kaywa.com/img.php?s=11&d='+window.location.href,'','height=600,width=600'); |
