The sites are linked together by a network of links. Links are used on almost all types of sites: regular sites, social media, even documentation and email. The link can be shared in a text message - clicking on the link takes the reader to the desired page or document.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Insert a link in an email or blog

1. 1 Open your browser. Go to the page you want to link to.
2. 2 Select with the mouse the text in the address bar of the browser. Then click on the selected text with the right mouse button and select "Copy" in the menu that opens.
3. 3 Open a new tab. Go to your inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo). This method will also work for pasting a link in WordPress or any other site that has a text formatting toolbar.
4. 4 Type your email or blog post. When you reach the point where you want to insert the link, click the two-link Link icon.
5. 5 Place the cursor over the address line. Right-click and select Paste.
6. 6 Hover over the description field. Type the text that will be displayed in the link. Choose one of two options:
   • You can just paste the link here again. In this case, the link will look like a regular email address. Clicking on the link will take the reader to the given address.
   • You can also type text in the description field, for example, "Read more" or "Click here", and when you click on this text, the reader will also be transferred to the link.
   • Whatever you type in the description field, when you click on the link, the link turns blue and underlines by default.
7. 7 Finish your letter or post. Send an email or publish a post. Your link will become active.
8. 8 To delete a link, select a line with a link in edit mode and click on the icon in the form of open chain links.

Method 2 of 3: Inserting a link in documents

1. 1 Open a text editor. Copy the link.
   • This method also works in Microsoft Excel and cloud storage like Google Drive.
   • Some programs, such as the latest versions of Microsoft Word, automatically highlight any inserted email address as a link.
2. 2 Enter the required text. Place the cursor where you want to insert the link in the text.
3. 3 Go to the program menu, in the "Insert" section.
4. 4 Select "Link" or "Hyperlink".
5. 5 Paste the copied earlier link into the address field.
6. 6 Enter the desired text in the description field. Press “OK” or “Enter” to paste the link. To edit a link, select it and select "Link" in the "Insert" section.
7. 7 You can delete it in the same menu, after selecting it. Select "Remove Link" in the dialog box.

Method 3 of 3: Inserting a link in HTML

1. 1 Open the page you want to link to. HTML is a page markup language. The presence of links on the page optimizes it for search engines.
2. 2 Highlight the address bar. Right-click the selected text and choose Copy. You can also use keyboard shortcuts, for example, to copy while holding down the "Control" key, press the "C" key.
   • You need to copy the entire line, including http: // www ..
3. 3 Go to the page where you want to insert the link.
4. 4 Select the place in the text where you want to insert the link. Press “Enter” to place the link on a new line. To insert a link, use the a> tag.
5. 5 Type a href =. This is the opening tag.
6. 6After the equal sign, insert the referenced address in quotation marks and close the tag with a triangular bracket. For example, a href = ”http://www.example1.net”>.
7. 7 Type the text that will be displayed in the link, for example: “Click here to continue.” Your HTML code should look like a href = http: //www.example1.net ”> Click here to continue.
   • Add the closing tag / a>. The entire link should look like a href = http: //www.example1.net ”> Click here to continue. / A>. Repeat the steps to insert the link on another page

Tips

• A link can also be a picture. The link principle is the same as with text. Select a photo, go to the "Insert" menu. Or click the link icon and enter the image or page address in the address field.
