Making a Tab a direct link in Plone 3

Want to link a tab to an url so it opens directly in Plone 3? Here's how!

Creating a tab to link to an external url is quite straightforward. 
Open site setup > zmi > portal_actions > portal_tabs and go to the right hand drop-down, 
leave at CMF Action and hit Add. Add the id (i.e. Blog). Now open the newly created 'Blog'  
and edit it with your info to look like this image
portal_tab

 

So now that you have entered Title  Blog, Url string:http://foobar.com and selected View under Permissions as well as ticked Visible and saved, you should have a tab which will redirect to an external url!
