New Feature: housingstorm Links

housingstorm.com Links give you a powerful way to share and promote your favorite websites.

Create links to your other business websites, sites of your friends or business partners. Share a website for your local town, church, newspaper, or community. Help promote your favorite news sources and blogs. Share your favorite youtube videos and facebook fan pages.

You can comments on Links and vote them “thumbs up” or “thumbs down.” And, you can even share other members’ links on your own Profile Page.

Creating a Link is Easy

From your Profile Page, click “Links”, and then “Create.”

Type or paste in the website address and housingstorm will automatically fetch details about the site. Select the radio box for the Link to be categorized as News, Local Interest, Humor, or Other.

By checking this box, you can edit the Link name and description:

You can choose to keep the image that we “fetched” or you can click the “customize” button to add your own image for the Link.

Choose your privacy settings. Links can be Public, Hidden, or for Friends only.

To customize your Link image, click the button to browse for a new image to replace the existing one.

Upload and crop your new image and you are done!

The Link is now visible from your Profile Page under “Links.” Now, you can give it a thumbs-up and leave a comment if you’d like. As you check out Links from other Members, you can also Share those links on your Profile by clicking the Share button.

As we get more links put into the system, we will put a “Links” directory on housingstorm.com’s Front Page. Happy Linking!
