Creating links, Hyperlinks and E-mail

Creating a hyperlink

Enter the web address in the URL box. Note: If you enter: 'http://mysitetolinkto.co.uk' then the system wil automatically remove the 'http://' part.
Click the Target tab
set Target as (New Window _blank)
- This will open the link in a new window. Note: This only applies to external links.
Click OK to complete the process.

Open up your live Web site and navigate to the page you wish to link to. Copy the page reference that you wish to link to. (i.e., http://www.myschool.kent.sch.uk/default.cfm?pid=123) You only need the part shown in red.
Paste or type in this page reference into the URL box.
Select <Other> from the protocol drop-down.
Click OK to complete the process

If using an image to link to, make sure you set the image border to 0. Right click on the image and select Image Properties, set border to 0. Otherwise your image link wil lhave a border applied to it.
Typing in the full URL into the content editor (i.e., http://www.bbc.co.uk) will automatically create the link without you having to enter any settings. You can then change the 'label' if you wish. Note that you should still set the correct Target for the link to New Window _blank if you are linking to an external web site. To do this, right click the link and select Edit link then follow the instructions detailed above.
