  • How to link to a news story

     11-26-2007, 4:18 PM

    When you're done copying the headline, byline, and first paragraph of the story, you'll want to "activate" the headline to link directly to the source online story .

    So to add the link, highlight the headline, then click the "add link" button.

    (If you don't have this button, see the section below on "non-Internet explorer users")

    The following dialog appears:

    Paste (or type) the website address into the URL field and click Ok

    The result should look like this:

    Notes for Non-Internet Explorer Users:

    Our forum software, Community Server, has a few quirks when using Safari, Firefox or other non-IE browswers.  You may find that you don't have a "create link" button!  In this case, you will have to use tags. 

    Use the format:

    [ url="http://www.mycoolsite.com ]This is my cool site[ /url ]

    (remove the spaces around url)

    For example.  You'll want to also activate the link under "see entire article":

    Use the following code to create the link:

    ...the result should look like this:

    (see entire article)
