Sept 10 - How to create hyperlinks/links

Because your blog is your online "Process Journal"it is important to know how to link to other sites. During the Investigation you will have a need to record the URL (Uniform Resource Locator, previously Universal Resource Locator, is the unique address for a file that is accessible on the Internet) of sites that you have visited - it is easy to insert the link into your posting.

Herre are 2 EASY ways:

  1. Just type in the entire URL including the http:// part. This will AUTOMATICALLY become an active hyperlink. Example is given below.

    http://afterclass.tripod.com/
  2. Another method is to type a word or words. Then highlight the word and click on the link icon in the toolbar (this link is located between the Text Color icon and Align Left icon). You will see a box open asking you to insert the URL. After typing the URL, click on OK and you are done. You hyperlinked!
