I admit I’m a doof when it comes to computer/Internet issues, but I’m having trouble sending an article I like on CNN to my Facebook friends if there isn’t a facebook icon I can click on. Can any of you smart dopers tell me how to send an article to facebook friends without a facebook icon? Thanks for your assistance. ---

In your web browser, highlight the address (URL) for the CNN article, and copy it (the Control button plus the C key if you’re on a Windows computer), then paste that address into a post you make on Facebook (using Control plus V to paste). ---

You are welcome! Those “share” buttons are a nice shortcut, but it never hurts to know how to copy and paste. 😃
