How to make a link

9th October 2009 by clare white

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

Link

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/>
