10.4.1.2 Including Links into the Entry

Your journal can contain direct links to your favorite websites so that any person reading your journal can go there at once. This can be done through a simple HTML command.

  • Say, you want to direct your readers to "www.fotki.com".
    1. Then your entry must look like this:
      <a href="http://www.fotki.com">www.fotki.com</a> is the best photo sharing site in the world.
    2. The above command produces the following:
      www.fotki.com is the best photo sharing site in the world.
  • You can add an element of surprise to your link by not telling your readers where you are directing them to:
    1. Then your entry will look like this:
      I was surfing the net today and found <a href="http://www.fotki.com">this!</a> Check it out!
    2. The above command produces the following:
      I was surfing the net today and found this! Check it out!
  • You can make a link open in a separate window on the reader's computer screen.
    1. Then your entry wil look like this:
      Click <a href="http://www.fotki.com" target="_blank">here</a> to visit Fotki.
    2. The above command produces the following:
      Click here to visit Fotki.

Put any other URL instead of "http://www.fotki.com" and your visitor will get to that site.
