You can create a link that directs users to a specific place (or anchor) on a page of your site. For example, if you are writing a blog post about Twitter feeds, you may want to link to your social media page; instead of having visitors scroll all the way down to the section in question, you can link to an "already scrolled" page!

Creating these special links is very easy. Open the editor and navigate to the page you want to link to. Then, just above the section you wish to link to, add the element called "Embed Code." In this element, type the following:

<div id="Twitter Feed"></div>

(You should replace the words Twitter Feed with a title appropriate to the section you're naming.) 
Next, publish the site and navigate to the page you want to link to. 
Copy the URL (such as http://kaburns1.people.ua.edu/social-media.html). 
Then go back to the editor and highlight the text you want to use as your link. 
Click the chain link in the toolbar, and choose the URL option. 
Paste the URL that you just copied, and add the following to the end of it:  
#Twitter Feed

(Use the tag you created before in the Embed Code element. Spaces are okay!) The URL should now look something like this: http://kaburns1.people.ua.edu/social-media.html#Twitter Feed. Publish the changes, then visit your site to make sure everything works!

DivTag templates has a great video tutorial about these special links on their site. Good luck!

"Embed HTML Code" is an intimidating phrase. For those of us who are not tech-savvy, it may seem easier to avoid dealing with HTML codes altogether. However, Weebly does an excellent job of simplifying this aspect of the web design process, just like it does with so many others. 

As an example, we will be using SlideShare, a popular website which allows you to upload and share your presentations with the world. You can embed your SlideShare presentation - or any other HTML code - in your people.ua.edu site with just a few simple steps.

When designing your site, you can find the option to embed HTML code under the "Basic" tab. I have highlighted the correct element in green in the picture below.

As with any element, you will drag and drop it into your site's page. The next step is to acquire the code for the object you wish to put on your page. You need not understand HTML code to find it; the code will often be provided for you by the website your object is from. 

For example, using SlideShare, we can find the HTML code for the presentation we wish to share under the "Embed" option, highlighted here:

When you click on the "Embed" option, the following dialog box will pop up:

The next step is to copy the code provided to you. SlideShare makes this task especially easy by providing a simple "Copy" button that does all the work for you, but some sites will require that you highlight and copy the code yourself.

Once you have copied the code, you are ready to embed it. Click on your custom HTML element on your site and paste the code into the box. When you click outside of the box, your object should appear where the code was. If it does not, there might be an error in the code; try copying the code again from its original source to make sure you did not miss any brackets or lines of code when you copied it the first time.

Voila! We have the final result, which just so happens to be a great presentation on the importance of web accessibility for differently abled people. We here at people.ua.edu are working on a series of blog posts to address the issues of web accessibility and how you can ensure that everyone can access your website equally. For now, we recommend acquainting yourself with the concepts of web accessibility in this presentation.
