What is it?

When adding standard text to your website pages you can make the text link to any external website – simply and easily using the engine code provided!

Tutorial: Text and External links

Step 1

Login to your CMS area for your site.

Step 2

Click the tab [Edit] to edit your page, locate the “Home” page as this is where we will be adding text links.

Step 3

In the edit window, input a new line of text that says:

Click here to visit the best search engine

Step 4

Now to make the text Click here into a link, add square brackets [ and ] around the text you would like to make into a link, like this:

[Click here] to visit the best search engine

Step 5

Now inside the closing bracket ] add two equals signs ==, like this:

[Click here==] to visit the best search engine

Step 6

And then after the 2 equals == add the full address of your desired location, for instance we will make the text Click here link to Google.com, the code would look like this:

[Click here==http://www.google.com] to visit the best search engine
  • Example: Click here to visit the best search engine

Please note: when linking to external websites make sure to use the full URL, for example include the http:// before the www. of the address.

Once you have inputted the Text Link code click [Save changes] and then have a look at your website’s Home page.

Please note: you will need to refresh the page of your website to view the changes.

Step 7

This method also works for email addresses, for this example the text would be:

Email me anytime

We will make the entire text as an email link, the code would be similar to this:

[Email me anytime==myemailaddress@hotmail.co.uk]
