Adding a clickable link into text
We pondered long and hard on the best route for the addition of links.
Instead of restricting you to specific link pages, we have given a flexible
route for additions of links.
Within text in text boxes and news items you can add the following syntax to add a link:
LINK[create your website - take control of your site]:http://www.createyourwebsite.co.uk
Where the text in [ ] square brackets, is the link that will show
on the page (in this case 'create your website - take control of your
site' but can be anything without a colon or square brackets) and
the url after the : colon is the address that the link will take you
to (in this case http://www.createyourwebsite.co.uk). This will show
thus: create your website
- take control of your site.

Adding a clickable e-mail address into text
See also 'how do I add links'
Within text in text boxes and news items you can add the following
syntax to add a link:
EMAIL[e-mail the webmaster with your comments]:webmaster@createyourwebsite.co.uk
Where the text in [ ] square brackets, is the link that
will show on the page (in this case 'your link text') and the e-mail
address after the : colon is the address that the link will take you
to (in this case webmaster@createyourwebsite.co.uk). This will show
thus: e-mail the
webmaster with your comments.

Adding a clickable link to a picture
As standard images have the ability to have links. Fill in the url field
underneath the image name and this will become a clickable link. You
can also add in alternative or alt text (which will show if PC users
put their mouse over the image, or if they are blocking images. It will
also show whilst the image is loading and is useful for web site optimisation
as a place to add more key word phrases).
Be careful to add in the full url - i.e. add in the http://
before the www., for example http://www.createyourwebsite.co.uk
or the image link will not work. Similarly, if you wish to add a link
to a sub page, such as this one, the full url is needed, thus: http://www.createyourwebsite.co.uk/helpfiles-topics-links.html.
