Now the first thing that we need to do is we need to go to that website in Safari. So what I’m going to do is open up Safari here, and I’m going to go to my site, I access that site quite a bit. So I want to add it to my dock. So I just go and enter in the site here, it goes to the site. Now what I need to do is I just need to drag this URL up here, down to my doc.

Over on the left side is all of the apps that we have. On the right side is where we can add documents and folders. Well, basically, what we’re doing is we’re adding a document of my site, it’s not going to be the complete site. It’s like a bookmark. But in the doc’s eyes, it’s going to be a document, so we need to add it over to the right side of this vertical line here. So how do we do that? Well, I just go up to the top here. And then I click and drag, you’re going to see we have a little plus there, I just click and drag, and I go to the right side of that line, if I go to the left side, you’re going to see I can’t place it anywhere. But if I go to the right side, it makes room for so I can place it where I want. So I’m going to place it right here, I let go. And now we have that website and my dock.
