AutoLinking

AOLpress can search the AOLserver that hosts your pages for other pages you might want your pages to link to. Then, you can choose whether you want AOLpress to create each link. All the pages on the PrimeHost hosting service server or the AOLserver you choose are searched for possible links.

--------------------------
To AutoLink a page:

  1. Choosing the Tools AutoLinks menu item while the page in which you want to create links with AOLpress is open, opens the AutoLinks dialog.
  2. In the "AutoLinks" window, select the AOLserver you want to search. For example, you can type http://members.aol.com/ (or select it from the pull-down list).
  3. Click OK. AOLpress sends your page to the server, and the server uses natural language processing technology to identify potential links from your page to pages on the server.
  4. You may be prompted for your username and password. Type these and click OK to access the server.
  5. When the server has finished examining your page, AOLpress opens a window that lets you select which of the suggested links you want to add to your page.
  6. In the list of Suggested Anchors, highlight one of the lines of text. AOLpress scrolls your page to show you this text in context. It also lists the titles of the suggested link pages in the Potential Pages For Selected Anchor list.
  7. To see a suggested page, highlight a title in the Potential Pages For Selected Anchor list. Then, click Show Page. AOLpress opens that page in a new page window.
  8. To create a link to a suggested page, highlight the title of the page in the Potential Pages For Selected Anchor list. Then, click Apply. AOLpress links the text in your page to the page you selected.
