Here are some step by step instructions for putting in news links for local editors.
First, find an article you'd like to link to from a search engine, Google News Alert, or browsing your local media.
Then go to the news section of the admin site, select the bullet point menu so each article has a bullet point to set it apart.
TYPE, don't copy and paste, the headline of the article you want to link to. Copy and paste will copy the font style and make your links look of all different sizes and styles. Follow the headline with the source (newspaper) and the publication date.
Return to the window that has the article you want to link to. Highlight the Web address and copy.
Next, highlight the text--the headline--that you want to be linked to the article
Then select the tool bar button that looks like three links of chain.
This window will pop up, paste the Web address into the field labeled URL.
Click OK and the headline will be linked to the Web address. BE SURE TO CLICK SAVE, the button is located below the text box.
Then go to the live site (eg richland.wisconsinvote.org) and check that the link appears in the campus-localized box.
Congratulations, you've shared useful voting information with your campus.
