How Awesome Highlighter is Awesome!


Awesome Highlighter is a website that people can use for research papers, articles, or anything (that the name implies) that you may want to highlight. When you visit the website you sign up for an account and then you recieve your own place to make yourself a profile. Once you have done this you are ready to start highlighting. If you are doing a research paper, getting information to write an article, or something you would like to keep to show to friends or family, you can keep the information by right clicking on the URL and pasting it on the highlighter page, and what this does is make a copy of the URL, so you can run the computerized highlighter across what information you want to stand out. What this does is it turns the highlighted words yellow as if you ran a highlighter across an actual printed page. The after you are done you can save the finish URL so you go to the website anytime and look at what you have done.

It can be used to arrange pamphlets or booklets for different uses, as well as be used to make ads or newsletters.
