]]> Two of the features that I really like that are new to version 3.1 are the admin tool bar and the add link screen.

Admin Toolbar

If you are like me you usually start at your admin login page and then open the public page.You will now notice when you are logged in and viewing your public page you can see the tool bar. Click the image to see a larger version.

You can use the drop down go jump directly to the admin side

Add Link Button

The box is a lot more user friendly!

Enter your URL, Click add link * the title link is optional.

You can now easily link to other pages on your site.

Click on “or link to existing content”

Highlight/Click the page you are looking for and then click add link

 

I look forward to seeing the website you create, send me a email with the link to your site!
