Creating a hyperlink

To create a new hyperlink
You can add a hyperlink to your page that will either redirect the viewer to another page from your site, a picture from your site or even an entirely different website.

  1. Move the cursor to the area you would like the link to appear, and click the Hyperlink icon from the toolbar .  A new popup window will appear showing hyperlink settings.

    New hyperlink window:


 

  1. Fill in the "Link Name", which is the word that will appear in your sentence that is the hyperlink itself.  Our example below will add a link called "Click Here".

  2. Fill in the "Link URL", which is the exact web address to the page or graphic you would like the viewer to be redirected to after clicking the hyperlink.  Our example will point to a secondary webpage built within our site called "page.htm".  Notice the path: "www.domain.com/mysite/page.htm where "mysite is the name of your subweb, and "page.htm" is the name of the webpage itself; ending in ".htm" of course.

  3. The "Link Type" should stay at "http://" since it is for your website.

  4. "Link Target" is how the new page will appear.  IE: you can type in: "new window" in this line, and when they click your link, a new popup browser will display the page.  Or, you can leave this line blank as it is, and it will show the page in the same web browser.  Our example would yield a popup window with the page displayed.



 

  1. When done filling out the information, click "Add Link", then exit out of the dialog box.  Sometimes the hyperlink you create will wind up on a 2nd line from where your cursor was at, but that's ok.  You can use the backspace or delete button to move the text where it should be.  Using the Cut-and-Paste method works best.

  2. Hyperlink example:
    CLICK HERE to go to our main page.
