To link to:

A Press Article Page: /Catalog/Presshome.asp?ArticleName=Home
NOTE: of course you will want to be sure to get the ArticleName correct. We used the Home article here as an example. If you wanted to link to a press article named About Us, then your URL would look like this: /Catalog/Presshome.asp?ArticleName=About Us


Catalog Item: /Catalog/Manage/ProdDetail.asp?ID=55555
NOTE: of course you will want to be sure to get the ID for your particular Catalog Item correct. We used a random number here. To find out the ID for your Catalog Item look in the upper right hand corner of the Product Detail page. It is usually a 5 or 6 digit number. If your ID was 55555, then your link would look like: /Catalog/Manage/ProdDetail.asp?ID=55555

FTP File: /Files/Welcome.pdf

NOTE:
FTP files are those files you uploaded using the FTP function that comes with your website. All files you upload in FTP are put into the folder named "Files" which lives on the root of your website. The right slash at the beginning of the path indicates the root of the web folder. The "root" of your site, just means the main directory level.
Example: You have a folder called My Documents. Inside that folder, you have another folder named My Pictures. So we would say that the folder/directory My Pictures lives on the root of My Documents. In your website there is a folder named /files, which llives on the root of your sites main directory. Its path looks like this:

/files

FTP Links:
Since your FTP files live in the/files folder, you would type in this path for all references regarding files living in your FTP folder. We uploaded a file named Welcome.pdf into our FTP folder. To link to it we typed in the path:

/files/welcome.pdf


External Links In:


Need to link from somewhere outside your site to a specific page inside your site? You can open a specific page in the center stage frame of your site.
It is a simple URL, or web address which uses a 3 part system. And it is easy!

The first part is always the same, It's your regular website address
Note: We are using Websagogo for our example:
http:www.websagogo.com/index.asp

The second part is always the same too: It tells the web browser that we're about to specify a page to open up in the center stage portion of your website.
?LinkIframeSrc=

The third part is what changes depending on where you want to link to. This is when you will begin using the link examples shown above.
/Catalog/PressHome.asp?ArticleName=Home
When you put it all together, it will look like the example below. Click it to see it in action.

http://www.websagogo.com/index.asp?LinkIframeSrc=/Catalog/PressHome.asp?ArticleName=Home

NOTE: When you click the Hyperlink button Create a Hyperlink to another page on the toolbar at the top of Memo1, Memo2, Memo3 and Memo4 a dialogue box will open as shown below in figure 1.
