1. Adding a Links Page

Under the 'Edit Site' tab, click 'Add Page'.
Click 'Links'.

Name your new page. This name is what will be shown in your navigation menu.
Enter a 'Page URL'. This creates the individual webpage address for that page. TIP: Use keywords or words that reflect the content that will be on that page.

By default, the 'Check to show this page in your navigation menu' box is checked. If you do not want the page to show in your menu, uncheck the box.

Click 'Add Page'.

You'll then be on the editing page.

2. Editing Your Page

Any time you want to make changes to your page:

Click the 'Edit Site' tab.
Click 'Edit' beside the page you want to edit.

Or, if viewing the page you want to edit, click 'Edit Page' on the toolbar.

You'll then be on the 'Header & Footer' section of the editing page.

Text that you put in the Title and Subtitle fields will be displayed at the top of your page, with the Title text also being automatically used as your Title Tag. For more information about Tags, please read Page Title, Meta & Head Tags.

The Header and Footer appear above and below your list of links once they're added. To edit the header and footer, add and make changes to text using the text editor and click 'Save Changes' when finished.

3. Adding Links

Within the editing page, click 'Add Link' on the left.
Enter the 'Name of Link'.
If you want to link to another page in your site, select 'Link to page in your own site' and select the page from the drop down menu.
If you want to link to an outside page, select 'Link to external site' and enter the URL for that site.
If you want the link to open in a new window, check the box below the page name or URL.
Add a description and/or image to go with your link - both are optional and not necessary to create your link.
Click 'Add' when finished.

NOTE: If you want to create subpages, use the Links feature to link to other pages in your own website, then hide the subpages from your menu. Here's how to hide the pages from your menu:

Under the 'Edit Site' tab, click 'My Pages' -> 'Organize Menu'.
Drag the pages you want to hide to the right side of the page.

4. Editing and Deleting Links

Within the editing page, click 'Edit Links' on the left.
To the right of your link, click 'Edit' to modify or the red 'X' to delete it. If you edit a link, make sure to save. If you delete a contact, confirm or cancel on the following page.

5. Adding Headings

Headings are useful for organizing or categorizing your links into groups.

To add a heading to your links page:

Within the editing page, click 'Add Heading' on the left.
Enter the name of your heading and click 'Add'.

6. Changing the Order of Your Links and Headings

Since you will rarely enter links and headings in the exact order that you want to display them, you can change the order of them at any time. To sort your links and headings:

Within the editing page, click 'Edit Links' on the left.
Click and drag your links up or down to where you'd like them. Click 'Save' when finished .

7. Editing Your Title Tag, Meta Tag and Header Info

To help with search engine ranking you can customize your title, description, and keyword tags for individual pages. Advanced users can also place code between the <head> tags. This feature is available through the editing page under 'Internet Marketing' on the left of the editing page. To learn more, please read Page Title, Meta & Head Tags.

Alternatively, you can apply the same description and keyword tags site-wide, which is great if you don't yet have time to do them for individual pages. To learn how, please read Marketing Your Site: Meta Keywords and Meta Description.
