browse your category structure, move categories around, move links around,
validate links, create category relations and assign new category editors. |
Database |

access your database in the traditional view of searching and displaying
records. You can also validate links, verify and check links, and have
access to a number of useful tools like MySQLMan. |
Build |
One of the main features of
Gossamer Links is its ability to generate static HTML pages. The build menu
lets you create static HTML pages, plus control the entire look of your
site. From the template editor you can change the templates that build the pages of your
directory, and from the language editor you can alter any language-specific words. |

Gossamer Links provides you with a powerful and versatile Mass Mailer that can be used to send email to all or select groups of users. From here you can email people in your
directory, email newsletters of new links, and even maintain custom
mailing lists. |

can connect to Gossamer Threads and download the latest plugin, or even
use the wizard to create new plugins. |

can configure Gossamer Links. |
