Adding Links to other pages or sites

Adding Links to other pages or sites

Select the text or image you want to use then click on the Link button .

In the Link URL field you need to place the URL. For links to other sites this needs to be the full URL starting with "http://".

Links to other pages within the website can use the page name or node number.

Most of the time you will only need to fill in the one field - Link URL, but placing a single sentence in the Title field is useful for adding keywords for search engines. Some browsers will show this as a hover description when the viewer brings their mouse over the link.

If you wish to create a link to a place within the same web page such as a link back to the top of the page, or index links for a long page you will need to add an anchor point for the link to connect to.

- First click on the Anchor button at the position in the document where you will link to and give it an anchor name. Anchor names should not be repeated on a page.

- At the text or picture you want to link click the link button and select the anchor that you created from the Anchor Links field.

Anchor names can also be added to links to other pages in order to link to a specific place within a webpage. A hash (#) followed by the anchor name is added to the Link URL.
