You can make both text and images link to other websites using HTML. Copy and paste the URL of the website you want to link to (Don't forget to include the "http://" part of the web address) and put it in the quotes of the link tag, like this:
Hey! Click <a href="http://www.gurl.com">here</a> to see a cool website! |
Hey! Click here to see a cool website!
OR
<a href="http://www.gurl.com"><img src="http://www.ImageHostingSite.com/ImageName.gif"></a> |
You can add all kinds of functions to your links. Here is some HTML that is used with the link tag:
target
Want your link to open in a new window? Set the target like this:
Hey! Click <a href="http://www.gURL.com" target="blank">here</a> to see a cool website! |
Hey! Click here to see a cool website!
link style
By default, a border gets put around an image that has a link connected to it. To get rid of the border, do this:
<a href="http://www.gurl.com"><img src="http://www.ImageHostingSite.com/ImageName.gif" border="0"></a> |
Also by default, text that is linked becomes underlined. You can change that like this:
Hey! Click <a href="http://www.gURL.com" text decoration="none">here</a> to see a cool website! |
Hey! Click here to see a cool website!
mail-to link
Instead of linking to another website, you can create a link that allows the clicker to send you an email. Use the mail-to link, with your email address in the quotes like this:
<a href="mailto:martina@gurl.com">Drop me a line</a> any time! |
Drop me a line any time!
