WordPress: Links

Brief Explanation of how to Create Links in WordPress using XHTML:

This WordPress tutorial will show you how to make links. A link is composed of two tags and content. Ling tags have an “a”. One to open and one with a slash before it to close it. The first tag has to have an h ref or Hypertext reference. This is the location that your link will go to. If the link is on your site, you just reference the slug such as /links here. The text between the tags is what the link will say on the page. I’ve created this link in a html editor so that you can see the difference between tags and content but now we’ll copy it into wordpress. You don’t need an html editor to create links.

As we paste it into wordpress you can still see the elements that are essential to a link, the two tags and the content in between. The key is that we have that href= with a slug between quotes.

If you go to view this page you can see what the link looks like. We only see the content between the tags but click on the link will take us to the slug that was referenced.
