Creating a Nav link that links to a custom url (like your blog)

If you would like to create a link in your navigation menu that links to an external website, like your blog for example, just follow these simple steps:

Firstly, create a new page as you would normally do, which will bring you to this screen:

Right at the top of the fields, you will see one labeled "Links to url", with a checkbox next to it:

Go ahead and tick this checkbox, which will change the screen to look like this:

As you can see, it now asks for you to Type in the URL, select the parent page (though this is not applicable to all CMS's...), specify whether it is in the menu or not, and Page Name. So, go ahead and type in the FULL url into the "Type in URL" field (be sure to include the http:// part as well - easiest way to ensure you do this right, is to copy and paste the address in the browser open on the website you want to link to...), and remember to give it a Name, otherwise it will not show in the menu.

Next, click on Save, and voila! You now have a navigation link linking to an outside URL.
