Transcript
- 8:34Let's add a link to the header, back to our main website.
- 8:37In the Navigation tab, I'll click Add link.
- 8:41I'll call it Main website... paste in our website's address...
- 8:45and set the kind to External link.
- 8:48Links show up wherever there's a Navigation component...
- 8:51and our header doesn't have one yet.
- 8:53So in Pages, I'll open the header region... and add Navigation.
- 8:57And there it is, at the right of the header.
