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 between the yellow brackets lower on this page. Notice that there are four lines to each submission and that the lines are all black. That means that there are no activated links. Purple text means that a line is an activated link. In the NEWLY SUBMITTED CONTENT area below, notice that the first two submissions are linked properly (2nd line purple) while the remaining submissions have not been linked (all lines black).

​​​To maintain a consistent look throughout all the pages, the instructions for activating links are as follows:

STEP ONE:
  • ​If you see that the text in the submissions have additional characters - such as ‚Äì, - delete them or replace them with the proper characters, such as ' or ". (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 (after copy/pasting the URL into the field, submissions might have empty spaces at the end that 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 your content's 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: 1) the category heading, 2) the title line, which is purple with raised text, and 3) the identifying information.

NEWLY SUBMITTED CONTENT
Activate the links for all newly submitted content. Use the URL (4th line) to turn the Title (2nd line) into an active link.
  • ignore content that already has an activated link
  • go to a different Link Activation page if the content area has no content
