How To Include Links In Your Emails
If you’ve ever found a website entertaining on the internet, you’ve probably sent a link to someone via e-mail. There are several ways to accomplish this task with the various e-mail options that are available. Some e-mail clients have a button, often with the symbol of a blue paperclip, which you can click to insert a link. A pop-up box will ask you to input the link location as well as the text to display. This makes it easier to write readable emails. Most clients will recognize a link copied into an e-mail but the button gives you the option to condense the link and makes your email look more professional.
Some older e-mail clients allow people to use Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) for their e-mails. If your e-mail client allows this, you can use HTML code to insert a link into your e-mail. The HTML code for links is shown below:
a href=”http://www.thelinkyou’reinserting.com”The text that is displayed/a
Replace brackets with angle brackets (<>)
If you replace the http:// address with the desired link and write your text in between the HTML closing brackets, you can successfully insert a link in HTML format. For the less technologically minded, there is always the button for link insertion.
