In my previous article “How to add links to your content”, I have spoken of the methods that can be used by a WordPress blogger to add links to the content which he write, by using the Visual tab in the WordPress Dashboard. Now, I want to make a short review about how to use links or better said how to attach them to your content, by using the HTML editor which is present also in the Dashboard. You simply have to click the tab next the Visual tab and you are in the HTML tab.
Like you did in the Visual tab, first you have to select the text that you are going to highlight with a link, then go to the button on which you can see the image of a link (it is written the word “link”, it is emphasized as having a blue color and it is underlined, just like a regular link, which has no other interference from a programmer). A popup will appear asking you for the URL that needs to be inserted as a link. You will have to know the URL of the page towards which you are going to direct the user. In this way, you can link the text written in your page to other Websites, to images, to Wikipedia pages or Crunch Base pages, to videos, to another location in your page, which is written by the user, if the page is large enough and so on.
You can add links not only to the words written in your post, but to the sidebar also. The form of the link in your sidebar is going to be the actual name of the site. It resembles a lot with the blogroll. That’s about it. Thanks for being here with us. See you tomorrow!
