Help topics > Putting a link in your posts
If you want to put a direct link into your post like this: Click here for the BBC,
follow these simple instructions:

(1) Copy and paste this html code into your text in the place where you would like the link to appear:


<a class="link" href="URL_HERE" target="_blank"><b>NAME_HERE</b></a>


(2) Now replace the words URL_HERE with the address of the site you want to link to.
For example, if your address is http://www.google.com, paste it like this:



<a class="link" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><b>NAME_HERE</b></a>



Make sure you don't leave any spaces or cut off any characters!

(3) Now replace NAME_HERE with the name you want to display as the link,
e.g. Google or Click here for Google (or whatever you want to call it).


<a class="link" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><b>Google</b></a>


You should now have a direct link to the site like this: Google
The link will open in a new window. If it doesn't work, you have omitted something so you will have to post again.
