Embedding a Link – Simple HTML Anyone Can Do!

Have you ever been working on a profile for social media and needed to add a link to your blogsite?  Many people just use the actual link like this:

http://www.kristalkraft.com

This works, but it isn’t nearly as nice as when a link is configured to look like this:

Kristal Kraft

You must agree having a text link like this is esthically appealing!  You might be surprised to know, it is very easy to learn and do!

All you need to remember is a little HTML coding.  Let me show you:

• First get the URL you would like to like to.  I typically will surf to that site and “cut and paste” the url to my clip board.  It is easier this way, because you avoid making a mistake in the url if you find the site, then cut and paste.
• Next you need to type in the code:
  • <a href=”">
• Between the “” insert the url you collected on your clipboard.  It will then look like this:
  • <a href=”http://www.kristalkraft.com”>
• Now you will need to add the Text you would like to show
  • <a href=”http://www.kristalkraft.com”>Kristal Kraft
• One more step, you must close the tag by adding this to the end:
  • </a>
• It should look like this:
  • <a href=”http://www.kristalkraft.com”>Kristal Kraft</a>

So for simplicity sake all you need to remember is this:

<a href=”ADD_URL_HERE”>ADD TEXT HERE</a>

Taking the time to learn a few HTML tags is very useful.  There are many places you can go to test your work before you try it IRL (in real life)!  I like using an HTML Test bed.  Go practice  and let me know how it works for you!
