Adding a Link
This page shows universal steps how to add a link to SiteBar in
any browser. There are more comfortable ways of adding bookmarks which
are specific to a particular browser. See, e.g., adding link to SiteBar using Firefox or adding link to SiteBar using Internet
Explorer.

Name, Description and Favicon for the URL entered in
the URL field.
- Link Name - enter a name for the link you want to

The following Advanced Controls are available:
- Favicon - a favicon's URL.
- Feed Link - links that are marked as feeds will be opened
using an external Feed Reader. Feed Reader URL is configurable in User
Settings.
- Private - links that are marked as private will not be
shared even if they are in a shared folder.
- Exclude from Validation - if you are adding a password
protected or an Intranet link, then you should tick this on.
Validator will then skip such links and will not mark them as dead.
- Target - a target where the page should be opened, you may
use _blank, if you want this particular link to be opened in a new
window. Usually you keep this field empty.
