Creating links to outside resources

To be completed by monday, February 28 class (a post that links to another site, and links included in your template).

Your blog should include posts that include relevant links to other resources, or issues about which you are blogging (i.e. if your blog is a 'movie review' blog, and you are writing about a particular movie, when you mention the movie you should link directly to its web-site (assuming it has one).

Your blog should also include relevant links that are included in the template (so they appear permanently in the left hand, or right hand column (depending on your particular blog design.)) For this blog, they all appear in the left hand column. I will demonstrate this in today's class.

But to get you started, how do you hyperlink to another web resource ?

Easy!


To include a link to this Site from your blog, simply change this blog reference from:


  • Information Technology Applications in Marketing (My favourite Class)



    to

  • <A HREF="http://buad477.blogspot.com">Information Technology Applications in Marketing (My favourite Class)</A>


    Note: It is not important to know what <A HREF means, nor do you need to remember, whenever you need to create a hyperlink, you can simply view source on a document that contains a hyperlink ... and that is why writing html is not complex!

    Note: when creating a 'post' for your blog (and if using blogspot)
    select: edit HTML option

    Any questions ? Use the comments area.
