6.15 Links - Featured or Related

The 'Links - Featured or Related' block provides a simple method to display links in a visually interesting manner.

Featured Links are limited to a fixed number of links, as controlled by University Relations. We are keeping the number of links that can be displayed in this style to a minimum as to not dilute their effect. The options can be seen below.

Related links give the site editor much more flexibility. They can be created to link to anywhere - even off site. They should not be overused though, or our visitors will begin to ignore them. Related links look very nice in a column and in a page section with multiple columns.

A Reminder:
Never use 'Click Here' in these link areas, or anywhere.

Example

A 'live' web page that is using a featured/related block. The block of content is outlined and has an arrow pointing to it, clicking will take you to the Undergraduate Admissions web page
