Linking in a story

Hey guys!
After a few people asked me how to add a hyperlink in the story, as I did in my review, I decided I would just post it here. It really is simple:




For example, say you have this text:
The American Observer is an online news magazine.


* If you want to link to the Web site, pick 1 or 2 words and add the beginning part of the tag



before the first word and then the end tag



after the second word.

So the final product would look like this:



(sorry this is so small, blogger resizes images -- if you want to view it bigger click it and it will open in a new window.)

When Lisa loads the story the html will not show up, but the linkable text will: American Observer.

Just make sure that you don't add "http://" or "www" if it isn't in the actual link, or it will be a broken link and take the user to an error page.

--I wrote it out, scanned it, then uploaded it here because when I actually wrote out the steps the program realized it was html and hid it (like it will do when Lisa adds the stories to the site) and therefore, my examples didn't make any sense.

I may have made this seem more difficult than it is, so if you need further assistance let me know. (or Katharine or someone else in class that knows how to do it.)

Also, I guess you only need to do this if you write a story for the site.
