How to add a link ...

Suppose you have found a site you want to share with us,

First make sure you are at the links menu that is suitable for that link. Say for example you have found a link suitable for Living Things (infants). At taht menu you click on addit...

The following dialog box will appear:

You need to add a brief discription of the site (you can figure that out - something BRIEF that will tell our colleagues what they will experience when they visit it).

If you know the URL you can simply type it in.

An easier method that prevents errors is to switch to the page where you found the nice stuff (using the taskbar)

At this point you have the links page in one window and the "nice stuff" site in another window like this:

Click on the "nice" site button on the taskbar and you will switch to it. (Remember the buttons may be in a different order and a diiferent number from the diagram).

This is an example of the new window "nice" site

Right click on a blank part of the page like in the above diagram.

Click on Properties and the following will appear:

Highlight the address (URL) (make sure you get all of it some URL can be long and part may be hidden!

Right click on the highlight and the menu above appears.

Click on copy

Switch back to the links page using the taskbar

Click on addit

If nothing happens you may have already opened the addit box an it is on the taskbar

Switch to the addit box on the taskbar

right click in the URL box.

The click on paste ...

The click on the Add a Link button an the link will be added..

Reload the page and you link will appear in the list of links

Test the link ...

Avoid using the address box to add links as often when you find a page you have been sent to that page by another site and the address appearing in the Address Box is NOT for the site you are surfing...
