' without quotes into the WordPress text box. This will place a copy of the HTML code into your WordPress page.
5. Highlight 'linkname' and type a name for your link. This can be any one word but must be completely unique to this link attribute. Do not remove the quotation marks around the link name.
6. Highlight 'Menu Text' and type the text you would like to appear in your menu. If your page uses headers to break up the text, consider using the name of the section header.
