regardless of when you added them. Use the "Update" button to add your

Setup Lenders... Works just like the What's New
section. This is used to showcase the lenders of choice. This may be a good
tool to get lenders to link to your web site.
Setup Partners... Works just like What's New
and Setup Lenders sections. Again this is a good tool to showcase your Title
Companies, Appraisers, Home Inspectors etc. Asking them for a return link can
provide increased traffic and sales.
Setup Testimonials... Works just like the other
sections. You will see a check box item in this section that must be checked to
display on your site. This allows you to hide a testimonial. This is handy
should you want to use a testimonial later on. The sort order allows you to control
the order that your testimonials will display in, regardless of the time they were added.
Setup Links... Works just like the other sections.
This will display similar to how search engines display links. The Name, then
a Description and then the site URL and link will be displayed. Again this is
another good tool to get people to exchange links with you, thus increasing traffic to
your web site.
