How do I make a link?

[UK2004]

This has been bugging me and now our links page is up I need to learn. I clicked source and it turned into a html tag so I copied and pasted that and it made a link with the changed web address but then i clciked soruce to turn it back into text and when I tried to alter the text it became normal text and not a link, what is the correct way to make a link as I need to start building reciprocal links!

Cheers as always.

How you do this will depend upon the software you are using - you would be better placing this request in the IT area of the forum

basc html coding for a link is:

<a href="http://www.domainurlgoeshere.co.uk">The text you want to display goes here</a>

Depending on the software you are using to create your page, there are differrent ways inw hich you would need to input this but if you can access the source code, the above is what you would need to enter to create a link.

Hope this helps,

The mention of switching from source to html makes it sound as though you are using FCKEditor or some other interface that lets you view your source as both HTML and WYSIWYG. If you're not confident with the HTML view then it's probably easier to learn to use the interface you have for your site. If it's one with buttons, the one to insert a link usually looks like a small globe with a paperclip on it.

No problem, it is nice to know that I have been of assistance and have given something back to a fellow forum member. I am always posting questions on here but rarely have answers for others.

Web programming is my thing, although I do not claim to be an expert, I am fully self taught. Good luck and let me know if I can be of any further asssitance.
