Blogging Tip: How to Make a Clickable Link, or URL link

In my email, I've been asked how to make a link. This is especially useful for your sidebars because Blogger's add a link feature isn't the best. The great news is that it is very simple to make a clickable link.

Let's say you want to link to my blog, Life With My 3 Boybarians. Just like that! You would type:

<a href="http://www.lifewithmy3boybarians.com">Life With My 3 Boybarians</a>


Now let's say you'd like to link back to me here at Graphically Designing. Replace the url (web address) and what you'd like the link to say. It would look like this:

<a href="http://www.graphicallydesigning.com">Graphically Designing</a>


Sometimes you want to link in the middle of a sentence.
"Click here to visit my portfolio!"
Whatever you type after the URL and in between the > and the < will be the clickable words. That sentence looks like this:

Click <a href="http://graphicallydesigningportfolio.blogspot.com/">here</a> to visit my portfolio!


Now you try it! Show the blogosphere how savvy you are!

Hey Darcy,
I went over and checked out your new portfolio...it is very nice. My blog isn't in it. Sniff - Sniff :(

I may have a commercial project for you in the near future. If so, I'll email you.

I love checking your blog to see your new designs....you are good girl!
