2.6. Adding Links

Up one level
Links to web pages within a Plone web site and to web pages at other web sites are easily created.

Add a link by clicking the menu choice in the add item menu for a folder:

You will see the edit link panel:

Good titles for links are important, because the titles will show up in lists of links, and because there tend to be quite a number of links held in a folder as a set.  Paste the web address in the URL field or type it in. There is no preview feature here, so it is best to paste the web address from a browser window where you are viewing the target for the link.

Links created in this way will result in discrete content items, as compared to links embedded within web pages.  Having links as discrete items lets you do things like organizing them in folders or setting keywords on them to facilitate grouping in lists and search results.
