How do you creat an external link on your website?

Question

And how do you get the link to say what you want, and not "external link"?

I want to put a link to another website on my myspace page.

I tried #2's advice and now the link says what i want it to, but when i click on it, it treats it as another myspace profile. in the brower is says "www.myspace.com/profile....www.what i want.com" and obviously, that does not work.

say i want to add www.yahoo.com. how would i do that?

Answer 1

You need to ad this html

Link Text

href - this is the location you want to go to (http://www.whatever.com)
title - this will show a tool tip when the user hovers over the link
target - by setting this, the page will open in a new window
Link Tex - set this to what you want the link to actually say

Answer 2

If you don't write the HTML directly, you should add information about the software you use to create your Web pages.

In the HTML itself, the link tags look like this:
display text
where I've written a fake web address. Notice that "display text" goes between the beginning and end tags for the anchor. (That's what the "a" stands for.)

I very often go to the location I want to link, select the contents of my browser address field, and just copy that as the value for the href (hyperlink reference) attribute (that is, what goes between the quotation marks).

Again, if you don't write HTML directly, you need to say what you are using.
