Adding a Link

To create external or internal links, follow these steps:

1. While editing your content with the formatting toolbar, highlight the text you want to link and click the “Link” icon (looks like a globe with a chain).
2. Enter the website address you want to link to in the “URL” field.
   
   1. For external links make sure to include the http:// portion of the link.
   2. Internal links should start with everything after the domain name. Example: to link to http://www.recode.la/about you should use /about.
   3. Alternatively you can use the node id of the page you want in order to create a more permanent link. Example: if the node of the About page is 9, then the URL would be /node/9.
3. Optionally, if your link is external then click the “Target” tab and select the “New Window (_blank) option from the “Target” drop down.
4. Click the “Ok” button.
