Making Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks can be links to pages within the website or to external pages in other websites.

In this example, I have made a simple website with a Home Page and three further paes that will contain stories.

On the Home Page (index.htm) I have put some text that we will use to make (Hyper)Links.

To link up the text "Story 1" to the page in the site called "Story 1.htm", select the text with your mouse.

At the foot of the page, there is the "Property Inspector", in this area we can type in the location of the link in the box titled "Link"

In this example I have typed in " Story 1.htm"

In the Target Frame Box, I pulled the drop down menu out, and selected "_self" which means that when selected, the new page will replace this one.

Once you have typed in the information and pressed enter, the text on the page will look like this:

The "Story 1" will now be underline and will change colour.

The default settings for the Link Font Colour can be changed by right clicking the page and selecting "Page Properties"

You can now change the default properties for all element of the page, including Link Colour.

Repeat the whole process to make more links.
