This is why you'll want to know how to make a desktop shortcut to a website so you can find out what's going on in the world right away, rather than two minutes later.

Luckily, it got simpler with Google Chrome, which adds clickable links to your desktop, allowing you to navigate to a web page with a single click. Here's how to use Chrome to create desktop shortcuts for your favorite online pages.
