On this page:

• Adding a web page

• Adding your own HTML file

Adding a web page

3. In the "Title" field, enter a title for your Worksite Information box, or keep the default or current title.
   
   
4. Use the "Frame Height" drop-down list to set the height for your Worksite Information box. You cannot change the width of the box.

   Note: Most web pages display best in a tall box (600 or more pixels).

5. Under "Site Info URL", type the URL (you may omit the http:// prefix).
   
   
6. Click Update Options.

   Note: You may need to refresh your browser to view your new Worksite Information.
