TUTORIAL: Making Links

I have written this tutorial more for the new bubblers that have recently joined. But if you have been around the site for awhile and still haven’t yet attempted to put a link in your profile, image description, or bubblemail, this should help.

FOR THE COMPUTER SAAVY: Put quotation marks around the words you want to be the link. Then type a colon. Copy and paste the url address for the page, image, etc. that you want to link to. No spaces anywhere in the code.

BEGINNER STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: I would suggest printing these out to have next to the keyboard. It will be easier than switching back and forth to this screen.

-Type the words you want to be the link:

Bubblesite for Patricia

-Put quotation marks around the words:

“Bubblesite for Patricia”

-Add a colon at the end:

“Bubblesite for Patricia” :

-Then add the url address for the page/photo you want to link to:

http://patmonty.redbubble.com/

-It should look like this (without the space):

“Bubblesite for Patricia”: http://patmonty.redbubble.com/

-I put a space after the colon so the html code would be visible in this journal. Take out the space and waa-laa! It becomes a link!

Bubblesite for Patricia

NOTE: In a bubblemail, it becomes a link after it is sent. In a comment, it becomes a link after the comment is added. In a journal or profile description, the clickable link is only seen in the public view.

If you have problems or questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

    Awesome – best tutorial I’ve seen. What makes it great – many things, but I especially liked the way you handled the real example, preserving the code by adding a space after the colon and noting it. I also love how you anticipated confusion by pointing out In a bubblemail, it becomes a link after it is sent. In a comment, it becomes a link after the comment is added. In a journal or profile description, the clickable link is only seen in the public view. – I remember going nuts the first time I tried, and assuming I was failing because I didn’t see what I expected, lol :D Wonderful job Patricia :)
