The beauty of most blogging platforms is that they let you write and publish without bothering to learn any code. But, sometimes you’ll be on a browser or in a blank box with no help and you’ll want the link that your pasting to appear as a link that poeple can click on. This is a handy bit of HTML code to learn or have handy to copy.
<a href=”http://www.talkaboutlocal.org.uk”>Link<a/>
will appear as
Important: your URL needs to include http:// ie http://www.talkaboutlocal.org.uk rather than just www.talkaboutlocal.org.uk, otherwise it won’t work.
A small adaptation to this is to add in target=”_blank” if you want the link to open up in a new window, like this:
<a href=”http://www.talkaboutlocal.org.uk” target=”_blank”>Link<a/>
