If you ever visit our actual website, you’ve probably noticed the “Print This” button that we display below each post. Depending on the type of website or blog you are running, having a button like this may be a good fit for your blog. I’ve found it to be good to have this button available to readers for any type of website that offers tutorials, recipes, guides, or pretty much anything that might require a visitor to print something you’ve written.

If you think you’d like to offer your readers the option to print something on your blog, here is the code I use on my blogs (uses Javascript):

<a href="javascript:window.print()" rel="nofollow">Print This!</a></span>

It prints the page you are on, so it is probably best to use it mostly on post and pages. If you place it on the blog’s homepage, it will print the entire homepage, not just that post.
