A good scribe post will probably have some links to useful Web sites. So, how are you going to put them into your post?

Once you’ve found a good Web site (make sure that you visit the site - don’t just assume that it is good because it comes up first in a Google search), you need to copy the address. To do this, start by dragging over the address in the address bar - this is the bit that starts http:// - , then go to “Edit” on the top menu bar and “Copy”.

Once you’ve copied the address of the site, go into the post editor (the thing I’m using now to write this!) and type the name of the Web site at the point where you want the link. Then drag over the name and click on the wee chain icon that looks like this: link icon

Now you need to put in the address that you copied earlier. On a Windows machine (which yours probably is!) you do this by holding down the “ctrl” key then tapping “v” at the same time.

You should then give the link a title and click “insert.”

You now have a link in your post :)

    Hi Mhari. In a comment , you’ll have to do some fancy stuff using HTML, which is the code that web pages are written in. It’s not too tricky though.

    Suppose you want to create a link to this blog: http://edubuzz.org/blogs/s3scribeposts , but you want the link to just say “Our Blog”

    Then you would type:

    <a href=”http://edubuzz.org/blogs/s3scribeposts”>Our Blog</a>

    Give it a try!
