step 2: click the button that looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it. this will open up a new window, seen in step 3

step 3: paste the link into the bar, but without the http://. you can paste the link and use the backspace button to delete the http://, or you can just copy the link without the http://. THIS IS IMPORTANT
