Adding a Link

Adding an external link: Click on the edit tab (or edit by the section). Click where you want to add the link. Click on the Globe button (4th toolbar button) and it will add this code: [ http://www.example.com link title ] - replace the example url with the one you're adding, leave a space, then add the text you want hyperlinked - keep both end brackets (but don't include extra spaces next to the brackets).

Sandbox

Afraid to do something on a main page? Experiment here - try out codes and see what it does. Once you figure it out, delete what you experimented with (or leave it if you think someone else will benefit from seeing/playing with what you started).
