Inserting Hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks allow you to navigate between pages, to link with other websites, and even to email directly from your website. To begin, open a page in standard pages. First we’ll demonstrate how to link from the page you’re working on to a different page on your website.

First select the text that you want to put a hyperlink on. Next click on the hyperlink dialog icon.

The hyperlink dialogue box opens.

Types of Hyperlinks:
Depending on they type of hyperlink you want to create, you'll do one of the following

  1. Link to Page on Your Site: Open the drop down box and click on the title of another page on your website.
  2. Link to File on Your Site: You can link to PDF's Word Files, Excel Files and large JPEGS and GIF files you have uploaded into your images folder. Click on the folder to browse and select a file. For help with uploading one of these files, see the Using Images video.
  3. Link: To link to another website, either type in or copy and paste in the url. Copying and pasting will be the most accurate, especially for long urls. Always remember to include http:// or https:// before you type the rest of the url. An example would be http://www.robertablack.com
  4. Email address: Type in the email address you're linking to, e.g. info@robertablack.com
  5. Open Link In: Choose SAME WINDOW unless you are linking to a different website from you own. (#3). In this case you may want to choose NEW WINDOW. New Window opens the linked website in a different window. This means that your website will still appear in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. A visitor will be able to click on the task bar icon for your website and return to your site. If you leave the setting at SAME WINDOW, your visitor can use the BACK button to click back to your website.
  6. When your hyperlink is ready, click insert. The hyperlink now appears. It will be active in your website, but clicking on the hyperlink in your Page Editor will not take you to another page.
