Post a link in Comments

Have you ever been reading blogs and decided to comment? In writing your comment, you find that you need to post a link. Just how does one go about doing that? Well, it is fairly simple. This is the code you drop into the comment box:
<a href="URL">Title</a>
Replace the URL with the URL of the site you are linking to and replace the Title with the title of the site.

Easy as pie. Now get out there and comment!!!

  2. Hey Annie - have implemented your blockquotes in my template and am loving it! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  3. @beks, So happy that you like it. I plan to do more blockquotes as soon as I find time.

    BTW, I never did figure out how to do archives so that you are reading chronologically from top to bottom. Did you?

    ReplyDelete
  4. @sumesh, open your dashboard/ layout/ add a page element/ labels/ save changes.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Haven't figured it out either, you would think it would be a simple thing to do right?

    ReplyDelete
  6. @beks, you know, I thought it would be simple, also. I keep my eye out for ideas on it. I'm sure someday I will figure it out.

    ReplyDelete
  8. @beks, I couldn't make much out of it either. Seems most of those commenting had problems implementing it. I don't know how I could get it to work for blogger beta. It just looks like Greek to me this morning.

  12. Post a Link in a Comment that Opens in a New Window: Hi Annie! I would like to know if you are aware of a way to post a link in a comment that would open in a new window. Regards!

    ReplyDelete
  13. @alain, I thought so, but when I put in " target="_blank" immediately after the URL, I get an error from blogger...not allowed or something. And that is the only way I know.

    Of course, if the readers know, you can right click on the link and choose open in a new window (or tab for firefox).

  14. Post a Link in a Comment that Opens in a New Window - Thanks: I'm already using your right click trick with IE 7. I have tried a few codes that usually allow a link to open in a new window but none of them work in the leave a comment blogger section.

Due to,happily, a steadily increasing readership, I'm not able to answer or solve all comments/problems. I do keep track of them and answer what I can as time allows. This is my attempt to balance home and blog.

To add a link in this comment, copy and paste this code in the comment window: <a href="URL">seen on post</a>
Change URL and seen on post. For instance, to have a link to BlogU, the code would look like this: <a href="http://bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com">
