Hi,

It can be done with a custom .desktop file.

To do it easily with the GUI :

 * Go in Lubuntu Menu, right click on Firefox (or an other web
   browser), and click on « Create a shortcut on the desktop » ;

 * Right click on your new shortcut, and choose « Shortcut Editor » (I
   am not sure of the English name) ;

 * In the dialog, go in the "Desktop Entry" tab, and modify the
   command. For Firefox, I have « firefox %u » : you can modify it by «
   firefox %u "http://www.yourwebsite.com"; ».


In this dialog, you can also modify the icon, label, etc.

I hope it can help,

Kind regards,
Pierre Gobin

Good morning,

I work for a school board in Montreal and we are finally shifting over to open source software for our older computer labs using Lubuntu 14.04 instead of windows 7. The performance between the two is incomparable and schools are saving up to 15 000$ by converting to Lubuntu instead of purchasing new hardware.

Our teachers have been working with us on this and one *big request* is to put shortcut to web sites on the desktop. I thought this would be a simple request but I am unable to find any information on how to do this. Can anyone help?

Thanks
