The next several lessons all deal with the <body> section of your webpage. You will want to add these items inside the <body> area and before the close tag </body>

Links play a very important role on your site. You can either send your visitor to another page on your site, keeping them on your site longer or you can send them on a link to another site. This is called Internal Linking and External Linking.

Linking

In html it doesn't matter whether it is internal or external. The code is the same. Here is the code to create a link:

< a href="HTTP://linkyouwantthemtogoto">Visit</a>

Now I will give you an example of an internal link:

< a href="https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...

This is an internal link because we are inside WA in a training course and the link is sending us to another WA page.

Here is an example of an external link:

< a href="Visit" class="redactor-linkify-object">https://www.google.com/">Visit

This is an external line because we are inside WA and linking the customer out of WA to another site.

magistudios talks about this in a video:

Strategy for internal Linking

I would like to use my site as an example. Will do it without using any of my content.

I wrote one article about my Niche. Then my next article mentioned by last article. I made an internal link to the previous Article for my customers to follow. This keeps them on my site and not sending them away. The longer we keep them on our site the better. I have several loops like this on my site.

One of the most important parts of this strategy is to Create your WA Review. In the WA Review, you have the external link to WA. Now, if you refer to WA and want to link to them you create an internal link to your Review rather than sending them out of your site.

Links and other attributes

You have other options you can use with links. If you put the links like we did above, it will open that page in the browser page you are on. Maybe you don't want this page closed, so you can have the link open in a new browser page. You tell it the target where to open. This is how the code would look:

< a href="https://www.google.com/" >Visit

This tells the browser to open the link in a new page and leaving your current page open as well.

Now that we know what links are, we are going to work on adding images into your webpage by using html code. It uses links to open the page.

Whenever you do editor, It is going to put up a big warning that you are changing them and should do it a different way.

Since we do not have access, well, I can't get my ftp to work, its the only other way you have to change a file. Its a warning and can hit ok and go back in

Hey Eden, is there a way to make changes to the title? I’d like to make it bold and a larger font. My theme won’t let me.
