Put your page into edit mode and click the "add to" for the area you want to add text to. Select the "Content" block type from the overlay.

A rich text editor will load for you to start entering text.

 

Add your content

Enter your text! You can format it with the toolbar options above the text area. If you have text that's already formatted with HTML, you can click the "HTML" button on the toolbar to paste directly in the source.

Adding an external link

To add a link to a page that's not on your site, just highlight the text you want to turn into a link and click the link button.

 

Add your link details

Link URL = Address of the site you want to link to. Make sure you include http:// at the beginning.

Target = determines whether the link will open in the same window or in a new one.

Title = the alt text visitors will see when they mouse over the link.

When you're done, click Update and your link will be added.

 

Adding a link to a page on your site

Ah, but what if you want to link to a page on your site? The smartest way to do that is to use a function here in the editor -- the "Insert Link to Page" at the top. Highlight your text and click that button.

 

Find your page

The search page has a variety of ways you can find the page you want to link to. If you know the page name, you can use the first field to do a keyword search. You can search by date, page type, and other page details. Or you can use the sitemap on the left to just find it.

Once you find the right page, click the the name and the search window will close. Your highlighted text should now be a link to that page in your site.

When you're done, click Update and your link will be added.

Add your text content

First of all, add your content block. This should include both the text that you want to turn into anchor links and the content that the links should jump down the page to.

 

Add your anchors

Head down the content area till you get to where you'll want to place your anchors. This is where the content will jump TO. Place the cursor at the beginning of the area you're linking to, then click the "anchor" icon in the toolbar.

An overlay will prompt you for an anchor name. Make sure you give them names (without spaces) that you'll remember later.

 

Add your links

Once you've added all your anchors, it's time to link to them. Highlight the first item on your list of links and click the link button.

 

Find your anchor name

You'll see a drop-down called "Anchors". Use this menu to select the proper anchor. Don't change any of the other fields here. Click Update.

Repeat the last step and this one for each item on your list until they are all made into links. When you're done, click "Add."


Note: If you're still logged in as an admin, your anchor links may look like they're jumping down too far because they're hidden behind the menu panel at the top of the page. You may need to log out entirely to test your anchor links out properly.
