[Qgis-user] how to add a basemap in 2.4

[Lars Huttar]

Hello,

I'm running QGIS 2.4 (under Windows 8.1 and Mac OSX 9), and trying to
follow this article on adding a basemap:
http://maps.cga.harvard.edu/qgis/wkshop/basemap.php

It talks about installing the OpenLayers plug-in; I found it already
installed.
But then it talks about using a Plugins > OpenLayers plugin submenu,
which I don't see anywhere.

How do you add a basemap, e.g. OSM or Google Satellite layer, in QGIS 2.4?

Thanks,
Lars
