> Users can now use The Wayback Machine to archive just about
> any web page at ANY time.
>
> This is a relatively new feature and like the Wayback Machine itself ...
>
> In other words, users no longer have to wait for the Wayback crawler
> to visit a page and permanently store a copy.
>
> Now, any user can do themselves when they want, as often as they want.
>
> Getting the job done is easy.
>
> Simply copy the url of the page you want to save (some call this
> "freezing" the page at a specific moment in time") and paste it into
> the "Save Page Now" box on the Wayback homepage.
>
> http://archive.org/web/
>
> Within a couple of seconds you will be given a direct and permanent
> link to the page FROZEN at the specific moment you pressed the "save
> page" button.
>
> That's it.
>
> Not only is this useful but it brings the topic about saving and
> archiving what you find since the web is so ephemeral. The way a page
> looks and the content it contains might look different on Wed. vs. how
> it looked on Monday. Heck, the page/content might also be totally
> removed.
>
> p.s. If you want to take the time, this bookmarklet (it's also free)
> makes saving a web page using Wayback a 100% point and click
> operation. Just drag to your toolbar.

>
> p.p.s. Probably also worth noting that some sites block the Wayback
> crawler from archiving a page... An example, try saving a
> page from WashingtonPost.com and see what happens.
