1.
Once you have logged in, navigate to the page where you intend to add a web link to.
2.
In the top admin bar, click on 'Edit Page'.
3.
Once in edit mode, scroll to the bottom of the content and click 'Web Link'.
4.
Once you click on the web link button, a new box will pop up in your browser. Start filling out the fields that are relevant to your web link.
- Add a brief description of what someone clicking this link will be taken to. You can show this description on the page
- If you'd like a thumbnail image to accompany your link, use the Thumbnail Image uploader here to add one and choose its size (N.B. you don't have to resize your image manually, the system has inbuilt sizes which it will work to unless you say otherwise)
- Occasionally you may wish to align a weblink differently from the rest of your page content - use the Alignment dropdown to do this
- Use Link to Page to choose a page on your own website or type the full url of an external web page you want to link to into the External Website box
- You can use the Go buttons to test both internal and external links before publishing
- It's good practice to add an Alternative Title - this is what is displayed when someone hovers over the link. It is also what screenreaders tend to use when reading links to blind users.
5.
After completing the details for your web link, scroll down to the bottom and select 'Save' to finalise the changes.
6.
You'll then see your new web link appear on the content. However, this is NOT published to the site yet.
7.
To publish anything you have edited or added to the page, scroll to the top of your content and click 'Approve'.
