You can add a button to your browser toolbar for each of your
favorite news sites. It's easy to do and it makes news surfing much
easier. You simply click the buttons to switch between news sites.
How to install news buttons.
(P.S. It's easy.)
Read the instructions below for different browsers,
but here's the general idea.
Choose a news site from the Newsknife home page that you would like
to add to your toolbar. Position your mouse cursor over the site
name. Hold the mouse button down and move the cursor until it's
positioned over your browser toolbar, (see exactly where, below).
Release the mouse button. The news site will be added to your toolbar
as a button. It's called drag-and-drop and it's easy!
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5+
A Mac and a PC work slightly differently. On a PC you'll be adding
your news buttons to the Internet Explorer Links toolbar, so set
it up first. Can you see the word Links on your toolbars? If you
can't, select menu item View and then Toolbars. Click Links to add
the toolbar.
To save space we suggest you add the Links bar to the right-hand
end of the standard toolbar (the one that has the Back button, etc.)
To do this hold the mouse button down over the word Links and drag-and-drop
it just to the right of the last button on your standard toolbar.
To save more space consider using small icons on your toolbar. To do this select View Toolbars
Customize. At bottom left of the dialog box select Small Icons.
To install your news buttons drag-and-drop them as explained above,
onto the word Links. You may get a security warning. This is asking
whether you are happy to place a link to that news site on your
toolbar.
To remove a news button or shorten the wording on it, right click
on it and choose Delete or Rename.
On a Mac you can probably drag-and-drop news buttons onto the standard toolbar.
Netscape Navigator
We have successfully installed news buttons in the Netscape 4.78
browser. The instructions are much the same as for Internet Explorer
except that the Links bar is called the Personal Toolbar, you may
not get a security warning when dragging a news site onto the toolbar,
and we can't see how to remove the buttons easily.
