  1. Log into your SharePoint site, e.g., yourdomain.sharesrvr.com.

    Edit page tab highlighted.
  3. At the top of a page column, click the Add a Web Part button.
  4. Select the check box for the Web Part(s) that you want to add.
  5. Click the Add button.
  6. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the Exit Edit Mode link.
  7. The new Web Parts appear on the site. By default, each appears at the top of its column. You can easily move Web Parts within or between columns. 
     
    In the upper-right corner of the page, click the Site Actions drop-down menu, and select Edit Page.
  8. Mouse over the Web Part header.
  9. When the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, click the header and drag the Web Part to the desired location.
  10. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the Exit Edit Mode link.
