How to create a link in blogger

Thursday, August 24, 2006

In order to create a link that people can click on in blogger, you can do it in 2 ways:

1. Using the WYSISIG (what you see is what you get) editor

a) highlight the text you wish to link
b) click on the link icon (circled in blue below)



c) A pop-up will appear - enter the URL (must include the http:// part)


The above method is the easiest way of creating a link in blogger/blogspot. The next method is more complex, but quite handy for non-geeks to know.

2. Switch to Edit HTML mode, and manually enter the HTML-code for a link (HINT: this little lesson is very useful if you ever plan to include a link in a comment on someone else's blog!)

<a href="http://www.drezilla.com">drezilla website</a>

You should of course replace the URL I've used (http://www.drezilla.com) and the link text (drezilla website) to whatever you want to link to.

Simple enough - I hope :)

I already owe my web presence to you, but, just for this handy little explanation, you can have my firstborn.
