Adding footer navigation content

I'm trying to add footer links to my page but ONLY when in the page is displayed on a desktop. I've got the text added using the :after selector, but am having a hard time styling it and turing the texts into links. How would you suggest going about this?

I couldn't look at your link, it's apparently restricted to folks enrolled in your same program. But just in general...

I don't think you can create links that aren't there already just with styling. But what you can do is place the links in your HTML and the use styling to hide them (or display them as just text) in the cases where you don't want them shown or active.

The alternative would be to use JavaScript which would enable the creation and deletion of HTML elements and/or the direct manipulation of their properties.
