APTURE Tutorial

My Blog uses APTURE, a utility that allows readers to dig deeper into any subject without leaving the Blog post.

Just select any word or phrase using the mouse (hold down the left mouse button and drag across the word or phrase to select). In the example below, after selecting SHALE GAS FRACKING, an icon labeled "Learn More" appears.

Release the left button of the mouse, and hover the mouse cursor over the Learn More icon. The icon will gradually change color, as APTURE searches the Web and the Blog. Shortly thereafter, a small window labeled with the selected words, SHALE GAS FRACKING, will open as shown below.

The "Explore" tab in the small window shows some results of a Web search, in this case a Wikipedia article on "Shale gas" (also found a less relevant result on "Local Gas Stations").

If you scroll down the small window, you'll see the results of searching my Re-ENERGIZE BUFFALO Blog, i.e., "Results from renewnrg.blogspot.com". You can scan the results and click on any one of interest to open it in a new window.

Scroll down further yet, and you'll see the results of a Web search using Bing. Again, you can click on any one of the entries to open it in a new window.

You can switch from the "Explore" tab at the top of the small window, to the "Videos" tab, to see the results of searching YouTube.

You can switch from the "Videos" tab to the "Images" tab, to see the results of searching Google images.

To close the small window, click on the "X" in the top right corner.
That's it. Happy searching!
