Links
FP makes creating links just as simple as a few mouse-clicks.(hyperlink
icon)
Inserting html code from banner exchanges, affiliate sites, freebie sites,
etc. will be covered in another tutorial.
Text link or
image link to another page within your web site or to another
www.site.com.
Type the text or insert the image.
Highlight it.
Click on the Hyperlink Icon.
The dialog box to the right will appear.
(This
box has been altered slightly to aid quicker loading, click on it to view nearly
full size.)
For a link to another page within your web, just scroll
down the list in the main window of the dialog box. Click
on the page you want to link to, and click OK.
(Don't worry about the http:// in the URL text box, it will disappear when
you click on your page.)
A text link to another page on the
WWW, you have 2 choices.
Type in the URL in the text box labeled URL, the http:// is already
started for you.
OR
Click on the
icon and browse to the URL you want to link to.
This is specially helpful if you want to link to a page you have added to your
favorites. When your browser opens, navigate to the page, copy
the URL from the address bar, and paste it into the
URL text box. (Be sure you highlight, in order to remove, the http://
that is already there or you may find your link has two of them.)
This icon
opens a dialog box to search your system for the page or other file you want to
link to. It would be very helpful if you maintain a large web, or act as your
own server.
Clicking
this icon permits you to create an email link. A
second dialog box will appear. Simply type the email address into the text box. Do
you want something special in the subject line in the email from a
specific link? Type the address in like this:
yourname@yourdomain.com?subject=Subject__Of_Email
The new
page icon permits you to link to a page you are about to create. This saves you
the step of returning to create the link after the page has been created. I
use this a lot when writing these tutorials. Again, another dialog box
appears. This time, it is the new page dialog box. Choose the type of page you
will be creating, it's a fairly simple follow through...
