Blogger link help

I said in class that is better to have your links open in a new window instead of just in the current window. By opening in a new window, your readers still can see your original post and the link you've given to them.

Here are some instructions from the Blogger site to help you with links in your posts. These will only work in the html editor and not the visual editor of Blogger.

Note: These tips can be used when you are directly editing the HTML of a post or template. They won't work with the Link List widget of Layouts.

The HTML for a basic link looks like this: TEXT

With this code, someone looking at your webpage will see the word or words you have as the TEXT. This text will be highlighted, and when clicked on, the browser window will go to the address specificed by the URL.

You can also create a link that people can use to email you. In the example above, just replace the http:// with mailto: and use your email address in place of the URL. It would looks something like this: Email me!

Sometimes, you may want to link to another webpage, but have it open in a new browser window, leaving the original webpage open beneath it. To do this, you can just add target="_blank" to the link. This tells the browser to make a new, blank window for the link. The link would then look like this: TEXT

We watched the Dooty Diva in class. This piece was done at the Roanoke Times by photojournalist Kyle Green. It and is a funny feature story. It runs a little over a minute and uses Soundslides.
