How to add a LINK in your posting tutorial....

I received a few emails about how to put links inside your blog posting, so I thought it would be easier to do a quick tutorial!

This is a link in your tutorial:

Click HERE to visit the Creative Cutter Room!

(When you click the HERE it will bring you to the web page)

The first thing I do is open the web-page of the link I want to add and copy the web address:

Start your post. Type a key word that you want to add your link to and highlight it. Once it is highlighted I first change the color to red then click the LINK button:

A window will pop up and your KEY word will be showing:

This is where you paste the web page that you copied at the beginning

 Click OK!

Now the link is connected to the word! You can easily remove the link by editing your post and clicking on the word, you can click remove from here.

You can also click on the title of one of your old blog posts and highlight the address and use the same technique to refer bloggers back to your older posting!
