Websites...How to do links...Textpattern, HTML, Subscribe

by Tryan Hartill

Recently I was having a chat with Bling about doing links. And I’ve noticed that her and many others don’t know how to link on the web. Here is a short overview.

There are many ways to link and it seems there are more and more ways as new types of databases are being implemented. ProBoards has their own link style. As does Textile. And still many others only allow the old fashioned HTML style.

Here at NCO we use Textpattern/Textile….

To do a link in Textpattern/Textile, first you must key in what you want the link to say…like Click Here

Next you put quotation marks around the words…like “Click Here”

Following the second quotation mark at the end you key a colon…Like “Click Here”:

After the Colon you copy and paste a URL like this one:

http://www.northcoastoregon.com/2007/12/29/FromHillsboroArgusLNGVeteranWeighsInOnLNGInOregon

Once you are done it looks like this

Click Here

Make sure the URL is directly after the colon and if the link comes at the end of a sentence, just add a period to the end of the URL.

HTML Links

Even though HTML Links won’t work here, they are still handy to know how to do when cruising around the web (Blogger Especially) .

An good overview of how to do a HTML Link

You will notice it has…..a href=”URL” at the start. In place of the URL you post all that is in your browser window at the top. Right now yours either says http://www.northcoastoregon.com/ or http://www.northcoastoregon.com/2007/12/30/WebstuffHowtodolinksTextpatternHTMLSubcribe

This is what you replace the “URL” with by the copy and paste method.

So instead of “URL” it reads “http://www.northcoastoregon.com/”

Next you put in the text you want to display…like Best Website Ever!!! And after that you copy the whole thing and paste it when you write posts/comments on the web.

And if you want to practice, start posting links like this all around the web….Best Website Ever!! (Just Kidding..sort of)

Lots More Under the Fold….
