How to Navigate Ocalapost.com for Obituaries, Classifieds, and Events

Ocalapost.com organizes its obituaries, classifieds, and events into separate top-level sections, so you can reach any of them from the main navigation menu without digging through the news feed. Use the site's search box if you already know a name or keyword; use the section links if you want to browse. The steps below reflect the navigation structure shown on the site's front page.

Finding Obituaries

Obituaries have their own section in the main menu, with a landing page for browsing and a separate path for submitting one.

• Select Obituaries in the navigation menu to open the obituary section.
• From there, choose All Obituaries to see the full list of published obituaries.
• Choose Add Obituary if you are there to submit one rather than read one.

If you only have a name, the site search is usually faster than scrolling the list.

Finding Classifieds

Classifieds are grouped under a single Classifieds entry in the menu, with legal notices broken out as sub-items.

• Select Classifieds to open the classifieds section.
• Related legal categories appear as separate entries: Legals, Notice To Creditors, and Fictitious Name. These are distinct from general classified ads, so pick the one that matches what you need.

Finding Events

Events sit in their own menu section and list upcoming local happenings by title.

• Select Events in the navigation menu.
• The section lists individual events, such as Light Up Ocala and Wildwood's Fourth Annual Adult Egg Hunt, each with its own entry.

Using Search Instead of the Menu

Every page carries a search field labeled Search Ocala Post, so you can skip the menu entirely when you know what you're looking for.

1. Type a name, event title, or keyword into the search box.
2. Submit the search.
3. Open the matching result from the list.

This works well for obituaries and specific events, where a name or title is more precise than a category.

What Else Is in the Menu

The same navigation gives you the rest of the site's sections, which helps you confirm you're in the right place:

Common Sticking Points

• Obituaries vs. Add Obituary: these are two different links. Reading and submitting are separate paths, so don't assume the obituary list page is where you post one.
• Legals vs. Classifieds: legal notices (Notice To Creditors, Fictitious Name) are listed alongside Classifieds but are their own entries. If your notice is a legal filing, use those, not the general classifieds link.
• Search scope: the search box appears on every page, so you don't need to return to the home page to run a new query.
