Summary: This guide provides step-by-step instructions for adding a blog link to your website's navigation, covering both the built-in Sites blog feature and how to link to an external blog hosted elsewhere.
Before You Begin
- You must have the necessary permissions to access and modify Sites Menus.
- Decide which Menu (e.g., Main Menu, Footer Menu) the link should appear on.
- If linking to an external blog, have the full URL ready.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Click on Sites from your main navigation menu.
2. Click Menus in the left navigation menu.
3. Select the desired Menu (e.g., 'Main Menu') and Click the Add Link button.
4. Enter the menu item title (e.g., "Blog") into the Label field.
5. Select the desired link destination in the Link To field.
- For the Built-in Blog: Select Blog from the dropdown menu, OR Enter /blog into the link field.
- For an External Blog: Select Custom, then Paste the external URL.
6. Select the appropriate Visibility option (e.g., 'All') and Check the Open in New Tab box (recommended for external links).
7. Click the Save Link button.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- My blog link goes to a blank page or an error: Navigate directly to the blog page on your site or external host and copy the correct URL. If using the built-in blog, ensure you use the value or /blog select 'Blog' from the dropdown.
- The link is not showing up for all users: Go back and Edit the link, then verify that the Visibility setting is set to 'All'.
