How to Make a Word into a Hyperlink

When I began my blog, I was clueless as to how to make a keyword clickable or a "hyperlink" that would connect to a URL. I soon learned that linking people to outside resources was going to be crucial to the success of my blog. So, I Googled it and there it was--the code that would change everything. I learned how to make any word link to a redirected URL. If I can do it, so can you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Select the URL that you want to hyperlink to.

2. Copy and paste the entire URL into your blog or document. For example: http://www.howdoihyperlink.com.

3. Select the keyword in the sentence that you want to use to hyperlink the URL. In this case HYPERLINK will be the word

4. Use the code: KEYWORD
   
   Example: <A HREF="www.howdoihyperlink.com"/>KEYWORD

5. Place your keyword in the text here: "/>KEYWORD
   
   Example: <A HREF="www.howdoihyperlink.com"/>HYPERLINK

6. Now, when the word HYPERLINK is clicked on in the sentence, it will redirect to the designated URL.
   
   Example: I wish I could learn how to <A HREF="www.howdoihyperlink.com"/>HYPERLINK words, so that my blog gets more views.

7. Test the link to make sure it works. Isn't that easy?
