QR Codes

What is this image?

An image like this is called a “QR code”. It represents the web address (URL) of a single HTML page. The image shown on the left stands for “www.bluelon.com”.

Mobile bookmarking
A QR code enables you to bookmark an Bluelon web page with your mobile phone quickly and easily. Our URLs can get very long: “http://www.bluelon.com/index.php?id=515&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=46&tx_ttnews[backPid]=511&cHash=92eec42ea3” is one example. But with a QR code there is no need to type the full URL into your phone, instead you simply scan the image. Your phone reads it, converts it back into the URL and stores it as a bookmark. Then you can use your phone to go online to that page.

What you need
A mobile phone with a camera
A mobile phone with internet access if you want to go straight online
A QR code reader installed on the phone
There may not be a QR code reader for some models of mobile phones.
