The Worksite Information box is located on a site's homepage in the column next to the menubar. You can either display a webpage in the box or add text. Depending on the kind of content you want to provide, follow the appropriate instructions below.

### Adding a webpage

To make a webpage appear in the Worksite Information box, follow these steps:

1. Select a course site or project site.
2. If the site's homepage is not already open, click `Home` in the menubar.
3. In the Worksite Information box, click `Options`.

   Note: Because the title of the Worksite Information box is customizable, the box may be titled something other than "Worksite Information" on your site. The box, however, will always be located on your site's homepage just beside the menubar.

4. In the "Title" field, enter a title for your Worksite Information box, or you can keep the default or current title.
5. Use the "Frame Height" drop-down list to set the height for your Worksite Information box.

   Note: Most webpages will display better in a taller box (600 or more pixels).

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