How to Go from the "This Week in Athletics" Splash Page to the Dickinson State Athletics Home Page
Updated
Use the "Continue to Home" link on the splash page. It is the direct exit from the "This Week in Athletics" screen to the main Dickinson State Athletics site. The splash page also shows a "Home of the Dickinson State Blue Hawks" link, which serves as a second route to the home site. Both are visible on the page itself, so you do not need to edit the URL or search for the athletics homepage separately.
Steps to leave the splash page
- Open dsubluehawks.com. The first screen you see is the "This Week in Athletics" splash page, with the heading "Splash page - This Week in Athletics."
- Look near the bottom of the page content, below the weekly events area and the sponsorship line.
- Select "Continue to Home." This takes you off the splash page and into the Dickinson State Athletics home site.
- If you prefer, select the "Home of the Dickinson State Blue Hawks" link instead. It points to the same destination: the Blue Hawks' main athletics site.
Expected result: you land on the Dickinson State Athletics home page, where you can browse the full site rather than the single-week event view.
What the splash page is for
The splash page is a weekly snapshot, not the main site. Its heading reads "This Week in Athletics," and its purpose is stated on the page: "Follow the Blue Hawks wherever they compete this week." It loads the current week's Blue Hawk events and checks the official Dickinson State Athletics schedules, with a "View Full Schedule" option and a sponsor mention.
That makes it a temporary front door. Once you have seen this week's events, "Continue to Home" is the intended way to move on to the full athletics site.
Common snags
- The events area says it is loading. The page displays "Loading this week's Blue Hawk events..." while it checks schedules. The navigation links are separate from that loading area, so you can still use "Continue to Home" without waiting.
- An ad blocker message appears. The page shows an "Ad Blocker Detected" notice asking visitors to consider turning off the blocker. This notice does not remove the "Continue to Home" link; close the notice and continue.
- You want the full schedule instead of the home page. Use "View Full Schedule" on the splash page. That is a different destination from the home page, so pick it only if schedules are what you need.
Which link to choose
| Goal | Use |
|---|---|
| Go to the main Dickinson State Athletics site | "Continue to Home" |
| Reach the Blue Hawks home site via the branded link | "Home of the Dickinson State Blue Hawks" |
| See the complete schedule rather than one week | "View Full Schedule" |
If your only goal is the athletics homepage, "Continue to Home" is the shortest path.
