2. Click on the New button in the top right corner of the Menu Item Manager.
3. Click on the word Article, then click on Article Layout.
4. In Menu Item Details, enter the following:
   • Title – As it will appear in the menu. Viewers will see this.
   • Alias – Enter an alias for Search Engine Friendly URLs. This should be all lower case with NO spaces.
   • Link – This is edited using the Parameters (Basic) drop-down on the right-side of the screen. Click on the Select button and a pop-up window will appear. Click on the article that should be linked to the menu item
   • Parent Item – If the menu item should show on the main menu on the homepage, click on Top. Otherwise, click on the submenu where it should appear.
