Hyperlinks in 6 Easy Steps

Hyperlinks like this one about Oscar, let you link your writing to other articles that you have read so that your readers would be able to read the original articles. Hyperlinks normally have a different colour than normal text. On this blog, the hyperlinks are in purple and the text is in white. If you move your mouse over the hyperlinked word (in this case 'Oscar') your cursor will change into a hand and you can click on the word to go to the article on another website.

So how do you go about creating a hyperlink, you ask. Suppose you'd like to add a link on your weblog about Oscar. This is what you have to do:


STEP 1 Copy the URL from the orginal article that you want to link to your blog



STEP 2 Highlight the word (or words) on your blog that you want to link to the article



STEP 3 Click on the hyperlink icon on the toolbar on your blog



STEP 4 A box will appear



STEP 5 Paste the URL address into the box and click OK



STEP 6 Your hyperlink is done!



Give it a go... I'm looking forward to seeing hyperlinks on your blog! :)
