Linking Text and Photos

Linking Text:
1. Highligh your text.
2. Click the "Insert Link" icon in the Html editor
3. Paste or type the URL of the page you want to link.
  1. If you are linking to a page outside your site, type the full URL, http://www.cnn.com.
  2. If you are linking to a page within your site, only use the portion of the URL after your full domain name. For example the Contact Us page of your site has a URL of http://www.yourdomain.com/inquire. You would only use "/inquire" in the Linked field.
  3. If you want the linked page to open in the current browser window, you don't need to change any settings.
  4. If you want your linked page to open a NEW browser window, then from the "Target" field, select "Open in New Window".
  5. NOTE: it is considered more User-friendly to not force links to open new browser windows. Current trend is to let the visitor decide if they want to right-click on the link and open in a new Tab window or new Browser window.
  6. Save the link window

1. You cannot link photos attached to a page, because clicking on a photo is reserved to pop-up a larger view of the photo.
