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:
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!
