INSTRUCTIONS FOR LINK ACTIVATORS
As a Link Activator, your role is to help prepare content for use on the live pages of the UNA-Orlando website.
Newly submitted content is placed in the NEW CONTENT area lower on this page (yellow brackets). Notice that there are four lines to each submission. If a submission is properly linked, the 2nd line will be purple and there will only be three lines. If a submission has not yet been linked, the lines are all black.
Ignore the submissions that are already linked (3 lines, 2nd line purple). Focus only on the unlinked submissions (4 lines, all black).

NOTES FOR LINK ACTIVATORS:
Newly submitted content is placed in the NEW CONTENT area lower on this page (yellow brackets). Notice that there are four lines to each submission. If a submission is properly linked, the 2nd line will be purple and there will only be three lines. If a submission has not yet been linked, the lines are all black.
Ignore the submissions that are already linked (3 lines, 2nd line purple). Focus only on the unlinked submissions (4 lines, all black).
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE:
- Look for unwanted characters (such as –,). Delete the unwanted characters or replace them with the proper characters. (Weebly has trouble with quotation marks, accent marks, apostrophes, and other special characters from non-English languages.)
- Check to see that there are no empty spaces at the end of the URL (empty spaces at the end will keep the link from working).
- If the title (2nd line of the submission) is too long, you can truncate the title as long as it still makes sense.
- If you notice that a submission is a YouTube video, do not activate the link.
STEP TWO:
- Select/highlight the bottom line (the URL) making sure that you do not capture blank spaces at the end
- Copy the URL
STEP THREE:
- Select/highlight the 2nd line (the title).
- Notice the tool bar above the text.
- a) Click the 'B' for bold... b) Click the '+' once to raise the text 1X... c) Click the hyperlink tool (looks like a link of a chain).
STEP FOUR:
- Choose "Website URL" from the menu.
- Paste the URL into the "INSERT URL" field.
- Click the "Open in New Window" button (or ensure that it is clicked).
- Once the link to the content title (2nd line) has been activated (the text is purple), delete the bottom-line URL, leaving only three lines.
