Inserting Links
Using the SiteBuilder editor, you can insert both internal and external links. Internal links point to other places of your web site, taking the reader to related pages. External links pointing to other web sites are often used to improve your web site's popularity and increase your web site visitor traffic (the so-called Link Exchange).
To insert a link:
- Click the
Insert Web Link button on the toolbar. The Insert/Modify Link dialog opens.
- To insert an external link pointing to another web site:
- Enter the web site address (URL) in the URL field, for example,
www.swsoft.com
. - In the Text field, enter the name for this link as it will be displayed on the page.
- To insert an internal link pointing to other pages of your web site:
- From the To pages in this site drop-down list, select the page you want the link to point.
- In the Title field below this drop-down box, enter the name for this link as it will be displayed on the page.
- In the Target drop-down list, define how the link will open: in a new browser window or in the same window. Usually, internal links open in the same browser window, whereas external links open in a new window.
- In the Text decoration drop-down list, select how the link will appear on the page: underlined, overlined, or with strikethrough formatting. If you select None, the link will not be distinguished from the context. As a rule, links are underlined.
- Click OK to insert the link.
To edit an existing link, double-click it on the page. The Insert/Modify dialog box opens where you can change the above settings.
