Embedded Links
In HTML a link tag looks link this:
Click<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">here</a> to go to yahoo.
It will result in this:
Click here to go to yahoo.
There are 2 types of links; external and internal. The former is a link to another website or page that is not on your own webpage. An internal link is a link to another page or post within your own WordPress site.
To insert a link into either your WordPress post or page, use the link tool in the tool bar. To add a link post – on a text, just highlight it and click on the link tool.
Image Link
There is no difference for an image. Insert image as normal, select it and clink on the link tool. The WordPress logo will direct you to WordPress.com.
GOOD PRACTICE
When linking to an external website, check the box under Link options: open link in new tab. This add the HTML code target=”_blank” which forces you Browser to open into a tab page or new windows (depending on you browser setting). Conversely, when linking to a page within your own website, you do not need to do this. The current page is replaced withing the same tab. In other word your navigation should look the same.
