Listed amongst the Edit Tools... list is the Web Content Tool. This allows you
to place links to web sites on the left menu bar. Ideally, you should place
only a few, very important links here, so as not to clutter the menu bar. If
you have many links it may be better to put them in the Resources area.
Website Links
Web site links are created in the Edit Tools... section of Site Info. Follow
these steps:
-
Enter the Site Info area by clicking on Site Info in the left menu bar.
-
Click on the Edit Tools... button.
-
There is a list of tools available to your site. Scroll down the list to Web
Content. Click in the check box next to that option.
-
Click on Continue at the bottom of the page to move on, or Cancel to return
without making changes.
-
In the next screen, insert the web address for the site you'd like to link
to. Be sure to include the http:// prefix.
-
Change the title of this link from "Web Content" to
something short but descriptive, i.e. "Foothill Library." If you'd like to add
more sites, choose how many more from the drop-down box. Fill in information
for all the sites you'd like to link to, and then click on Continue, Back or
Cancel.
-
When you hit the Continue button, the final screen is a summary of tools added
or deleted. Click Finish to accept the changes, Back to return to the editing
page, or Cancel to not make any changes.
-
You will probably have to click on the browser Refresh icon (double-headed
arrows) to refresh your screen. After, you'll see the links in the left menu
bar.
If, after this procedure, you see one or more links called Web Content in your
left menu bar, you either forgot to re-title one of your links, or you created
too many links. You can remove unwanted blank Web Content buttons by returning
to Site Info - Edit Tools... and clicking to remove the checkmark next to the
empty web content item.
