Hyperlinks

Linking is one of the biggest parts of blogging. I figure that I would add a post on linking. Let's add an <a></a> HTML tag to your blog. The basic <a> tag is this: It includes an <a> open tag and an </a> closing tag. Here is some text: Visit our social media Google+ page. To make this a hyper-link, we need to use the <a></a> tag. The <a></a> tag consists of a reference, title, and (optional) a target.

Here's how it works:

Visit our social media media <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106263980696246227305" title="SOC 6903" target="_blank">Google+</a> page.

Visit our social media Google+ page

In this example, I added a hyperlink. Here is the basic syntax: <a href="" title="" target=""></a>
This has to be added in the HTML section of your blog. The href is the url to which you want to navigate; the title is what is shown when you hover over the link, SOC 6903 in the example above; and the target is optional and usually tells the link to open in the _parent window or a _blank tab or window.

This is very helpful when you want to keep the flow of the paragraph without interruptions from weird hyperlinks like https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106263980696246227305.
Alternatively, you can use the hyperlink tool "Link" in the toolbar. This is probably the best way to accomplish this, but if you ever get into trouble, I hope understanding the mechanics of this will help out. Google+. You'll notice that the same options are available for this tool except for the title option.
