ADDING LINKS IN YOUR ARTICLES

If you want to put links in your articles to past news articles that might be relevant to your story or even add a list of your past fan casts or editorials (in non-news items of course!) it’s easy to do! Below are each of the things you need to write in order to create a link.

And that’s how you put a link together! As you can see below, I chose the word "HERE" for a specific reason but it is of course entirely up to you what you decide to name it and whether you use capitals or not.

Oh, and if you want to make a picture a link rather than a word, the same rule applies. Just use the image code instead of the word ("HERE" for example) and it will work in exactly the same way.

ADDING LINKS TO YOUR FANSITE

As you might of noticed, I have a series of links on the left hand side of my articles that you can click on to access some of my past interviews, editorials, fan casts and reviews. Well, you can do this too! Whether it’s for any of the things I’ve listed above or even links to your Facebook and Twitter pages, it’s entirely up to you and a great way to get extra hits on any of your past articles! Below is a step-by-step guide that will show you just how easy it is...

Start by heading to your account page and clicking on "LINKS".

It’s up to you whether you want to give your links a heading like "Reviews", "Fan Casts" and so on.

To put a single line between each heading or link use two <.br.> HTML’s…

…and one <.br.> to list each link one after the other. (otherwise they wont display properly)

Click on "PREVIEW" to check that they’re all ok.

And, click on “SUBMIT” when you’re happy with how they look.

A few minutes later, they’ll display on your fansite, and in all of your articles, as you can see below:

Lol, thanks guys - you're all too kind! :) I thought this would take no more than a few minutes to put together...two [frick]ing hours, lol!!! Still, it was most definitely worth it if it helps you lot!

And if you enjoyed this...you'll love the interview I'm planning on posting tommorrow. Sure, that was a lame segue but it's the best (not longest though) one I've done yet and I cant wait to put it up! :D
