How to Make a QR Code

QR Codes have been all the craze lately. So I thought what a great addition to your business card, event agenda, or even a t-shirt! Sorority girls love their t-shirts. 

Want to make one of your own? Just go to this website: http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/ and begin! Who knew that is was so simple to create one of these?!

  1. Go to  http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/
  2. Choose "URL" from the Contents drop down list
  3. Enter your website in the URL text box
  4. Choose the size of your QR Code in the "Bardode size" drop down list
  5. Click Generate
  6. Your new QR code will appear to the right. 
  7. Click Download to save your new QR code
  8. It will open a new tab in your browser with only the image of your QR code
  9. Right-Click on the image and choose "Save image as" 
  10. Save your new QR code
  11. Print it out, Test it, add it to whatever you wish!
Need a good app to scan QR codes from your phone? 
I'm using Norton Snap QR Code Reader. Not only does it Scan the QR Code, but it checks it for malicious software before it opens the code on your phone! 

There's lots of more good info on QR Codes from CNET here:
