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.
