Hi boccio

I want to ask you if it is possible to create a new category and give it a redirect link to another website ? If yes, how do i go about doing it please.

Secondly: is it possible to give a red backgound to a particular category link in the left navigation column : e.g. having a Red background like 'Sections' or 'More Top News' under a particular category e.g. News ? How do i go about doing it please ?

Thirdly: is it possible to have a 'google search bar' next to 'Search the Site' and 'advance search' section please ? How do i do that

What is the purpose of links Manager in the admin panel and how can one add links to it ?

I suppose so, although I never tried. Just put the link to another site (don't forget the http://) in the "Redirect Link" box inside Category Management.

As for separate colors for individual categories in the navigation - I'm affraid no. At least, not unless you "force" it to display different colors for categories, inside PHP files for parsing the category links and CSS for display. But it won't be so easy.

You can find all the information about pluigins in documentation:

Just place the HTML code for Google search (with FORM tag) in header.tpl, the same way you would on any other site and it will work like a charm...
