    There are a lot of sideboxes....
    Links in general, are straight html anchor text(href)

    Being that this sidebox is comprised of define pages - Instead of your static html page try entering you page code in one of the define pages like page_2 from the admin > tools > defines page editor

    Alternatively, you can use the ezpage sidebox and rename it as you wish "More Info" if you choose, create internal links to the existing pages in the default more info and add additional ezpages for your other pages in the admin > tools > ezpages > insert

    When done, you can turn off the original more info sidebox

    I have created the ezpages as suggested but how to do I turn it on to show as a sidebox on the site?

    admin > tools > layout boxes controller> sideboxes/ezpages.php > set to on, side & order

    The page image you posted has the sidebox "red" - enable display of this page in the sidebox so that you see it green and not red

    Thanks that got it working, but now there is another thing that I wish to change.

    I would like to change the text showing "IMPORTANT LINKS" to "RESOURCES". How do I do that?

    Use the developers tool kit to find the defines for that text and the file it is in - then edit a copy of that file for your template

    HI,

    I am in a slightly different fix.

    My eventual site needs to display multi languages and I see many posts on problems associated with EZ-pages not being friendly for languages. So is there another way to create internal linked pages of static information (e.g. about us, company profile, management, cire values, etc...) that comforms to the template layout?

    EZ-pages is really an easy way out for most cases. However, I don;t think I can use it given the above consideration.

    Please advise!

    Thank you so much!!!
