A hyperlink is a link to another page on either your own or a different Web
site. You can generally recognize hyperlinks because the font color is slightly different from the color of the rest of the text on a page. And behold! If you happen to hover your cursor over a hyperlink and it changes to a hand, you can click the hyperlink — and then hurtle through cyberspace to land on another Web site in an Internet galaxy far, far away.

Hyperlinks are an easy way to provide more information to the visitors to your Web site. You might even create an entire page of hyperlinks linking to recommended products or informational sites. Or you might create hyperlinks to link to other sites; Chapter 6 explains why this is a great way to improve the traffic to your Web site.

Here’s all you need to get started linking your way through cyberspace:

1. Click WebSite on the Navigation bar of the Office Live Home page. The Page Manager opens.
2. Click Edit next to the name of the page to which you’d like to add a hyperlink. The Page Editor tab of the Web Designer opens.
3. Create the text that you want to transform into a hyperlink, and then select it.
4. Click the Hyperlink button on the Page Editor toolbar. The Insert Link page opens, as shown in Figure 5-10.
5. Select the type of link that you want to insert and fill in the corresponding information.
   • Web: Link to any Web site other than your own; fill in the URL address in the Link field.
   • My Page: Link to a page on your Web site; click the Select Page icon that appears and choose the page you want to link to based on the sample provided.
   • Email: Link to an e-mail address; fill in the e-mail address in the Link field based on the sample provided.
   • Document: Link to a file that you’ve uploaded to the Document Gallery (see the later section called “Documenting Documents with the Document Gallery”). Click the Select Document icon to select the appropriate document.
   • Other: Link to other, less typical sites types such as HTTPS or FTP.
6. Click OK to create the hyperlink and return to the Page Editor.
7. Click Save to save your changes and close the Page Editor.
