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).
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

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