Agenda

1. Site of the Day
2. Link your e-mail address:

  • To link text or an image with an e-mail address: highlight the text/image; click on the link button; go to the URL box and type "mailto:thename@wherever"; then click OK.  Do not use the quotation marks; do not add any spaces anywhere. 
  • See the bottom of this page where Frada and Ellen's names are linked to their e-mail addresses.  You can also link your e-mail address (or any URL for that matter) to an image.  Move your cursor over the mailbox and see what happens.
  • To link with another location on the same page (this is known as a target): 
  • Place the cursor at the beginning of the target line.  Click on the target (bulls eye button) or choose Insert, Target (named anchor).  Type in a name for this target; OK.  A bulls eye will appear in the edit mode but will not appear in the browse mode. 
  • Now, highlight the text or image that is to be linked to the target.  Click on the link button, then highlight the name of the target; OK. 
  • Important hint: Put a target at the top of your page named "top of page."  At the end of a target within the document, link an image or line of text such as "return to menu" so that the viewer can easily get back to where he/she began. 

    • Save file.
