[nabs-l] Questions About How To Post Links To A Webpage

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi everyone!!
I have a question I can't figure out! I write sports for a website
which is www.wajr.com. It's a radio station's website. In order to
edit the site, I write my story in word, select it, and copy it to the
clipboard. Then, I go to wajr.com/admin, log in, select my page, and
hit edit page. It's your typical web editor.
Here is the problem. Usually, I just copy and paste my text to the
website and I'm fine.
However, I'd like to put links to my twitter and facebook at the end
of my stories so people can click on the link and follow me or friend
me on Facebook. This is where I'm running into trouble.
At the top of the web editor, there is this huge toolbar with 60
different buttons. Then, there is another area where the text is.
Apparently, you are supposed to select the text you want to make a
link, and hit the "link" button on the toolbar and then enter the URL
you want to link to. However, I can't figure out how to do this with a
screenreader. If I enter the text area and select something, I have to
go out of this area to get back to the toolbar to hit the link button
and the text gets unselected. I tried pasting my hyperlink the
old-fashioned way by going into the editor, going to the top of the
text area and just hitting paste. The problem was the formatting
didn't carry over from word and the hyperlink didn't go over.
So then, I tried putting a hyperlink in my word document to my Twitter
and going into the web editor and hitting the paste from word button
on the toolbar. Well, it pasted my link fine, except it posted it on
the very very bottom of my page.
How do I go about putting it at the top?
Basically, if you want to do more than simply paste text, if you would
like to say post links or something with a web editor like this with a
toolbar with the buttons and then the separate text area how do you do
this?
I love the "copy from word" button but the stupid editor puts my story
and my link at the very end of my page and I need the most recent
story and my link at the top not the bottom!!
The editor is called Flex CMS. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kerri
