What just happened?

With this simple step, you just learned how to create a website out of stand-alone web pages.

Although your hyperlink linked to a page right on your site, it's just as easy to link to just about any web page anywhere on the Internet. To connect to a page on another website, simply select the Website radio button in the Insert a link dialog. A textbox for entering the address of the page you wish to link to, will appear in the box on the right. Enter the address and click OK.

Have a go hero — working with hyperlinks

Bring up the Test page that you created earlier while working with modules. Create the following hyperlinks:

  • A hyperlink that reads Go to Google and links to http://www.google.com
  • A hyperlink that reads E-mail me and links to your e-mail address

    Hint: select the E-mail address radio button in the Insert a link dialog.

Tip

Don't hyperlink to e-mail addresses

Although you now know how to hyperlink to e-mail addresses, I don't recommend doing so on your website unless you want to receive tons of spam. Use the Contact Us module instead, when you want to provide a way for visitors to contact you.
