Links
The links module adds several link related features to the website. First it creates a links page which lists all the links that have been created, either separated by category or in a single alphabetical list.
The links module also checks the status of all links weekly to make sure they are all still active. If the target website changes and a link is no longer valid you will receive a notification to change or remove it.
Link Cards
Each link is displayed as a link card on the links page.
You can use link cards to display up to 3 links related to a single topic. This example has 3 links. If a user clicks on the Gilsbar logo they will go to the Main Gilsbar website to read more about the FSA benefit. They also have 2 more options in the footer. They can go directly to the FSA login page, or if they have not yet setup their account they can click the account setup link to go directly to the account setup page.
The link image must be (900px by 600px) or (600px by 400px)
