Steps:
1. If you haven’t already done so, add a bookmark/favorite for your neighborhood website. This will allow you to return to your neighborhood page easily.
2. Create another bookmark/favorite for the internet search engine you use most frequently (Yahoo, Alta Vista, etc.)
3. Go to the web site or Neighborhood Link web site that has the material you are interested in copying to an Add-a-Page on your own neighborhood’s web site.
4. Copy the information address:
- Position the mouse in the beginning of the text you wish to copy, click and hold the left mouse button while you drag the mouse across the entire text selection.
- From the ‘Edit’ menu at the top of the screen, select copy.
5. Using the bookmark/favorite, return to your neighborhood’s web site.
6. Go to Coordinator Access and enter your username and password.
7. Click on ‘Add-a-Page’.
8. Click your mouse in the title field and type in the name of the Add-a-Page.
9. Tab to the ‘text’ field.
10. From the ‘Edit’ field, select ‘Paste’.
