Displaying Links on your Site

One way of displaying links on your site is to use the Weblinks module to list links from a specific category. Another method is to create a menu item of type Weblinks - List All Web Link Categories or Weblinks - List Web Links in a Category to have a page display all Web Links categories, or all links within one Web Links category.

Letting Visitors Submit Links

You might also wish to let visitors submit new Web Links. To do so, simply add a Submit a Web Link menu item to one of your menus.

Quick Tips

• You need to add at least one Category for Web Links before you can add your first Web Link. Categories are added using the Web Link Category Manager.
