Creating web links

Open Hyperlinks

To create an open hyperlink to another website on your easisites website, use your password to edit your site and simply type the URL (Uniform Resource Locator)/ web address of the other site in a freestyle text area on the page you want the link to appear.

Example

www.easisites.co.uk

NB: There's no need to type http://. The easisites system will automatically create a link to the other site - which will appear in a separate window (so that your web visitors do not leave your site when they click on the link).

Hidden Hyperlinks

If you want to link to another website or a particular page of another website which has a long URL/ web address - such as

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/e-commerce/default.stm

- it's probably a good idea to hide that link. This is fairly simple.

Use regular web-style tags, as follows:

<a href="URL/web address">

opens and identifies the link

</a>

closes the link.

Used together (either side of the words - or image - you want to carry the link) these tags create a link to whatever URL/ web address you put between the inverted commas.

To make the link appear in a separate window (per the standard hyperlinks above), you will need to enter a "target", eg

target="target"

You can designate your own "target". It really doesn't matter what you put.

So, using the BBC example above, this is what it will all look like when you edit your easisites website.

Example

<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/e- commerce/default.stm" target="bbc">these words carry the link</a>

And this is what it will look like to web visitors when you publish your easisites website:

these words carry the link

(To check this out, right click your mouse now and click on View Source.)

Of course, you can use this method to create hidden links to any website.
