9. Choose the check box next to your new link
10. Choose "rename"
11. Name it whatever you want your link to be NOTE this name does not actually tell Plone to show in the Titan Services menu but makes it easy for you to later identify what that new "portal action" is for. Keep ths name simple and short.
12. Choose "ok"
13. Choose the text link for the new "portal action" you have created. 
14. You have a number of boxes here that you add information in but only 2 really that you need to modify. NOTE. be careful here I have completely hosed a website by not being careful so don't experiment or I predict a visit to the counseling center will be in your future.
15. Fill out the following
1. TITLE: This is the text you want your users to see. This can be different than the name of the "portal_action" you just changed but keep the name short. 
2. URL (EXPRESSION): There two different types of links you can add here, and "internal" link and an "external" link. If you have a page on your site that you have published and want to appear you are creating an "internal" link. If you are linking to a website like CNN a site you don't own thats an "external" link.
1. Internal Link: string: $portal_url/your_page
2. External Link: string: http://www.CNN.com
