Creating+a+Web+Link

If you want to create a link to another web page, you can do it very easily on WikiSpaces. You can link the page to a word in a sentence, a web address, or an anchor somewhere else on your page. To create a web link, follow these directions:

To redirect to another Web Page: 1. In Page edit mode, Highlight the word, phrase, or web address you want to link (left click and drag) 2. Click the "Link" tab 3. Choose "External Link" for a website that does not end in the .wikispaces.com address 4. Your word, phrase, or web address should appear in the "link text" box 5. In the "address" box, copy and paste the web address of the page to which you want to redirect 6. Check the "New Window" box if you wish a new page to open instead of redirecting from the current wiki page 7. Click "Add Link"



To Redirect to another Wiki page: 1. In Page edit mode, Highlight the word, phrase, or web address you want to link (left click and drag) 2. Click the "Link" tab 3. Choose "Wiki Link" 4. Type in the Wiki name (before .wikispaces.com) 5. Type in the specific page name of the Wiki (EX: home)

6. Check the "New Window" box if you wish a new page to open instead of redirecting from the current wiki page 7. Click "Add Link"



To add an anchor : Anchors are ways to link one part of a page to another. These are particularly useful if you have a lot of information on one page. Using an anchor will save your viewers from scrolling all the way down on your page to find the related material from 2 different sections. Anchors have 2 parts.

1. Go to the part of the page where you want the link to jump to (usually located farther down the page). 2. Type in 2 brackets, the number sign, and then the nameoftheanchor, followed by 2 brackets. Replace nameoftheanchor with the actual text you want to be the name of the anchor. For example, we could use the word "anchor" from above
 * Part 1:** The anchor point. i.e. The place you are linking to.

1. At the top of the page (or wherever you want your anchor link list to appear), highlight the text that you want to use as your link. 2. Click on the "Link" tab in the toolbar. For Page Name, select the name of the page you want to link to. This is most often going to be the page you are currently working on. 3. Click the "Link to anchor?" link, which will then display a box into which you can type the anchor name. So in the example above, you would type the word anchor in the "Anchor" box, since this is what you put inside the anchor code in Part 1.
 * Part 2**: The link.
