Putting a Link Inside A Post

A link is simply one or more words that when clicked on, takes you somewhere else. It is most often written in a different color or underlined in a post. Most blog carnivals, giveaways and memes request that you link back to the host blog when you participate. I'm going to show you how to do just that.

First you need to write your post. Highlight the words that you would like to have link to something else. Click on the 'link' button. It looks like a broken chain link. Type in the URL (web address) that you would like to link to and hit enter. Preview your post to see if your link works.

Here's an example:

In this post, I wanted to link to my current giveaway. I wrote the post. Then I copied (ctrl + c) the web address of the page I wanted to link to. In this case, it was my giveaway post.

Then I highlighted the word ‘giveaways’ (circled in red in the image above) and clicked on the link button (circled in blue). A Hyperlink box popped up. I selected "http://" from the drop down menu and then deleted the http:// that was already in the box. Then I pasted (ctrl + v) in my giveaway page's web address. I found the specific URL for my giveaway post by viewing my blog, finding my giveaway post and clicking on the title. This opened the post up by itself, making it easy to find and copy the URL (http://sneakym...) Then I previewed my post and checked my link.

Have fun! You can link to other blogs, articles that you want to share, your email address. Anything. The world is your oyster. Link away!
