Create Internal Links in HostGator

Hello I just got my hostgator account and I have a template that I am going to use for my first website (Yay!) I wanted to know how to take images and create internal links to other pages of my site and take other images and create external links to affiliate products I am going to market. so the external links have to include my affiliate link

 Hi wdshabazz,

I'm not familiar with the templates in HostGator, but generally, if you are going to create links both internal and external, the code will look like the one below:



If you're going to make it into a "clickable text", then you need to insert the link within the image (IMG) code. You can follow the instructions in W3C.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

 ...and then there are the extra frills - #1 is the most used:

1. Open in a new window:


2. Default: Same as not using a "target":


3. Advanced: If your page is embedded in another page ("iframe"), this opens the page it's embedded in:


4. Advanced: If there are more than 1 iframes, this opens in the top level window of the series:


5. Advanced: Opens in any iframe you name:


Really, (#1) opening in a new window (same as opening a new "browser tab") is the most useful of these. It lets the visitor see the original window underneath the newly opened window, so they can easily get back to your site or page by just closing the newly opened window. Good for a "quick look" at something off your site, like a Wikipedia reference.

Hope this helps...
