How to Link a Note to a Facebook Status

The Facebook Notes app lets you include hyperlinks with HTML. You can link to an exterior website or to a section of someone's Facebook profile. If you want to link a note to a specific status update, you must first locate the status update's URL. Facebook users who are not friends with the person who posted the status update will only be able to see the status update if the poster doesn't have his privacy settings to "Friends Only."

Instructions

1. Click "Profile" if you plan to link the note to a status update on your wall. If you want to link to another person's status update, visit his profile.

2. Scroll down and locate the status update to which you want to link a note. Beneath the status update, you'll see the time stamp. This tells you when the update was posted. Click it to open the status update in its own window. You now have the direct URL for the status update.

3. Highlight and copy the status update's URL in the address bar.

4. Click "Home" on the top navigation bar. Click "Notes" in the left sidebar and then click "Write a Note" at the top of the page. Compose your note and move your cursor to the section where you want to link to the status update.

5. Type the following HTML code to link to the status update:

   <a href="status-update-URL">Anchor Text</a>

6. Replace "status-update-URL" with the status update's URL and leave the quotation marks in place. Replace "Anchor Text" with the desired link text. Click "Publish" to publish the note.

Tips & Warnings

• To link an entire note to a status update, click "Link" at the top of any Facebook page and paste in the URL of the note. Then click "Attach."
