The Weblink module enables content creators to add links to websites and monitor the amount of times people click the link. The module also includes functionality to monitor whether the website has changed. Using categories, you can create a directory of external links on your site.

1. Login
2. Click create content » weblink.
3. Enter a title.
4. If you have the right permission, add a path alias.
5. In the Link: box, enter a fully-qualified URL. That means that the link must start with http:// (or another scheme, such as ftp:// or webcal:// though http:// is the most common) e.g. http://www.bryght.com
6. If you permission to change the monitoring settings for the weblink you are creating you should see a box titled "URL monitoring":
1. to monitor the URL, check the box next to "Monitor URL"
2. select an interval. It's generally best to select at least an hour, to keep processing and bandwidth usage to a minimum
3. select a byte threshold. Some sites change marginally (e.g. to fix typos), so choose a number that you think will be indicative of a substantial update to an external website.
4. select the URL to monitor. This will most likely be the same as the weblink, but the module can keep better track of updates if the site if monitored URL is an RSS feed.
7. Select a category to place in the Weblinks directory.
8. Write a description for the link. This can be a review of the site or a summary of its contents.
