Be sure to include Link Text in order for the link to display in your directory.

For example: livestock, goats, forage.<\/p>\n<p>8.<b> Feature Image<\/b>: Add a headshot of the staff person. Images should be optimized for the web before uploading. Images must include ALT text to make them ADA compliant; the staff person\u2019s name is adequate in this case.
