  • You can create links in different ways. For example in this forum you can create a link by clicking on the figure of a globe with a paperclip across it when you are writing a link. Same with WordPress if you are writing a post or page just click on the little icon in the visual editor or click on the word "link" in the html editor. If you are using html code for your site then just check the tutorial here at HTML Links

    • Hey Leanne King!

      I thank you for your response.and (w3schools.com) is something ive started studying & will continue to do so for awhile! I also understand that there may be certain icons on certain pages that will allow a link to automatically generate.
      What im talking about is,say i im at yahoo ask.com,and want to direct some one somewhere,and there's no icons or way to automatically generate a link,i would like to be able to manually create a link anywhere on that page.
      Now i have the html code thang down.my problem is what do i do in order to make it appear on the page.do i type the (html link code) in the browser? and some how activate it that way? or is there some other way i can open up a part of a page ,type in a link and save the changes?

  • I think you are a beginner to HTML. You need to know HTML before you begin to get to the links. There are lots of other topics in HTML which come before links. To get to the topic of link you need to clearly understand the basics of HTML. Anyway if you are interested in learning HTML, go visit W3CSchools and get introduced to HTML there. The site will provide you the most basic and advance tutorials you need to understand.

  • Yes, html is just a markup language that your browser uses to generate the design and layout of your site.

    The link within that 'html' is simply something along the lines of......

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.domain-name.com">Anchor text here</a>
    The words 'Anchor text here' will be the only part that will be shown in your browser and is the actual 'link' that people click on.

    Of course you can add other elements to that syntax in no particular order, such as nofollow tag, title tag etc........

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.domain-name.com" title="Description of the site or page the link points to" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Anchor text here</a>
    target="_blank" (Opens page in a new browser window)
    rel="nofollow" (Makes the link nofollow)
    title="text here" (Create a title that displays when hovered over)
  • You need to have access to an FTP server
    where you will upload the file basically . that's the way to put your file on the web.

    So essentially when you edit the html document
    you can put (in the right place of course) something like this :

    PHP Code:
    <a href="your link here">My new Link!</a> 
    and once you put that text somewhere in the HTML file
    you will notice the new link coming to life on the page.

    That's the simple way to do this , when your working on a page not related to
    wordpress or any of these other content editing softwares.
  • Here's my example, For the beginners you can used the HTML Syntax: the HTML code for a new link is very simple just follow this code<a href="url">The Title for your link</a>.
  • If you want to creat link you can use this code:
    1.. <a hre*f="http://www.yourdomain.com">your keyword</a> or
    2.. [ur*l=http://www.yourdomain.com]your keyword[/url]

    no 1 for html code
    and no 2 for bcc code

    please delete the *

  • Hey everyone,

    How exactly do you create an anchor link in here, in the WF?
    I am a War Room Member so I am allowed to do it, but I cannot figure it out.

    When I put the anchor code, and then I try to put the html tags around it, that doesn't work.

    If I should put the anchor code in the signature line, that looks like anchor code.

    Thanks,
    Rae
