[LM_NET] HIT: Destiny 8.0 home page

[Alma McDermott <Sunshinealma@AOL.COM>]

Believe it or not, I figured it out myself this morning. Some said I'd have  
to use HTML code, but I didn't have to when I worked on it. Here's what to  do:
 
Log in, then go to "edit" on the home page. Type whatever you want for the  
opening paragraph(s) and save it. After that, mouse over the icon that says 
"add  a group." Give it a title (like Teacher Resources, Authors, etc.) Once you  
have a group, then go to the "add a link" icon. Type the URL for whatever you 
 want in that group and give it a name. As you add groups, you will see a 
drop  down menu for the URL's & titles that you want to input into that  group.
 
Thus, if I was adding a special webquest in my Science section, I'd create  a 
Science group, then add a link for it and a description calling it  
"Webquests". That's it!
 
I wish I could show you mine, but after all my hard work, no one -  including 
teachers or students, will see it because the district has it off the  
internet and only available on school computers. They can access the  catalog part 
of it to look for books, but they don't see the home  page. The only way it's 
visible is when my aide or I log ourselves into the  system to run a report or 
do circulation, etc. I'm so bummed!
