Things You'll Need:
- URL of the page to which you are linking
- Plain text editor suitable for writing HTML, such as Notepad
-
Step 1
Determine the page to which you will be linking. Make sure, unless you are linking to a home or Splash page, that you get the full URL, including the protocol (e.g., http) and any sub-domains or paths.
-
Step 2
Enter the opening HTML tag for links, which is {a href="destinationURL"}. Instead of using braces ({ and }), use angle brackets (< and >).
-
Step 3
Fill in the text you want to appear in order for the HTML link to show up. For example, a common phrase to indicate a link is "click here".
-
Step 4
Enter the closing HTML tag for links, which is {/a}. There should be no spaces between the linked text and the HTML tags, so make sure you've deleted any spaces.
-
Step 5
Ensure your finished product looks something like this: {a href="http://www.mysite.com"}click here{/a}
-
Step 1
Enter the opening HTML tag for linking images, which is {img src="location". Again, replace the braces with angle brackets.
-
Step 2
Add a height and width for your image to make sure that it isn't too large or too small for your website. It should make the opening tag look like: {img src="location" width="100" height="100".
-
Step 3
Include alternate text that will be displayed for browsers that won't display your image or for the visually impaired. The opening HTML tag for the link will now look like: {img src=, followed by: "location" width="100" height="100" ALT="this is a picture".
-
Step 4
Close the HTML tags with a simple angle bracket (>)
-
Step 5
Ensure your finished product looks similar to this: {img src="http://www.mypage.com/mypicture/" width="100" height="100" ALT="this is a picture">
