What
is a
hyperlink?
A hyperlink is blue words that you click on that makes the computer do
something. For example: Click on the blue words below and it will take
you to our website.

Why
would I want to
Save a hyperlink?
Ok, lets say you are going to be on the web a lot. Could you imagine having
to memorize or write down the addresses (Url's) of every website you visited.
It would be a nightmare. But instead, you can simply save the hyperlink
for each website (in your favorite places) and later you can just scan
down the list to find the one you want.
How do I...?
Save a Hyperlink to Favorite Places?
For anything that has a
red heart
in the top right corner
Note: Items without a red heart cannot be placed in favorite places, unless
you know what your doing. Instructions follow.
1. Go the website and you will see a red heart in the top right corner
2. Place the cursor on the
RED
HEART
3. Click the
LEFT MOUSE BUTTON
on the heart and hold it down.
4. Drag the little heart to Favorite Places (Yellow folder with a Red Heart)
5. Release the left mouse and the heart will fall into favorite places
6. You can now open favorite places and see that the heart is now inside followed by a description.
7. You can go to that site now at anytime simply by opening favorite places and clicking on the little red heart.

How do I...?
Change
the name of a Hyperlink while it's in Favorite Places
You may find that
you want to change the name of the hyperlinks while in your favorite
For Instance...
You
might want to change
A Boy and His Dog
to
The Day Old Groover Died
Here's
how...
1. Click
A Boy and His Dog (website
opens)
2. Save the Heart to Favorite
places
3. Open Favorite Places
4. Click once on
RED HEART
5. It should now be
highlighted
A Boy and His Dog
6. Click on Modify
(or EDIT)
7 . A display comes up with two lines of text
Note: The top
line of text is what the
blue words will say
The bottom line is
the computer instruction code (website address, email address, etc.) be
sure not to alter this line.
6. Change the words in the top of the link to say whatever you
want
In this example change them to: The Day Old Groover Died
8. Click OK
(The link has now been changed to
The Day Old Groover Died
How
Do I...?

a Hyperlink to a friend by email

2. Click on Favorite Places (It should open up)
3. Put the cursor on the Hyperlink you want to move
4. Click and Hold Down the
LEFT
MOUSE BUTTON
5. Drag the hyperlink
to the compose mail

differently in compose mail (than they do in an email you receive). In
compose mail all hyperlinks are automatically in edit mode. To use a hyperlink
in a compose mail you have to double click on the hyperlink and then click
on launch to get them to work. When you send the hyperlink to a friend
by email it will work for them just fine.

How
come...? Some
hyperlinks have no RED
HEARTS
Some hyperlinks have
no Red Hearts to drag to favorite places, and I have no idea why.
Example: Are
you addicted?
Without a Red
Heart you cannot drag them to favorite places. But following the directions
in the sections below... You will learn how to cut and paste these links
into email and how to modify them to say what you want them to say. (Oh.
Boy. Fun time)
How
do I...?

You will find that
often you want to write a letter and cut & paste a hyperlink in to the

hyperlink from an email and paste it into your own compose mail.

How
do I?
Make
a hyperlink from Scratch
You can make a hyperlink
in Favorite Places by clicking on
NEW
You then type in the Name of the link (blue words) on the top line
and the computer instructions (Website Address) on the bottom line
But there is a faster way....
Lets say you are typing a letter (compose mail) and want to make a hyperlink
to your website, right there in the middle of the letter...
1. First type some words that you want to become the blue words (hyperlink)
Example: This is Marc's Website
2. Now Highlight the words
This
is Marc's Website
3. Click
the Right Mouse button
4. Click CREATE
HYPERLINK (a
box appears)
5. Type the Website Address you want to use
Example: www.baddteddy.com/nadia.htm
6. Click
OK
7. That's it, the
link is ready, to test it double click it, then hit launch
This
is Marc's Website
Note: You have to
double click links in compose mail, but they will work fine after you
send them.

How to create an email link
to
one person or a hundred at once
An email
link is simply a hyperlink (blue words) that allows someone to simply
click on the blue words to create a pre-addressed email to send you or
someone else an email.
Follow the steps below and I will use my email name as an example
1. Type what you want to call the link
Example BaddTeddy Tutorials
2. Highlight the link (click and drag)
Example:
BaddTeddy Tutorials
3. Click your right mouse
button
4. Click on Create Hyperlink
5. Type: mailto:EmailAddress
Example: mailto:BaddTeddy@aol.com
6. If you want a subject. Type: mailto:emailaddress?Subject=Your Subject
goes here
Example mailto:BaddTeddy@aol.com?Subject=I
Want BaddTeddy Tutorials
Note: there are no spaces before the "=" (equal) sign
7. Click
OK
8. A blue Hyperlink appears
Example
9. Double left
click
on the hyperlink
10. Click Launch
11. A compose mail appears with the email address you selected and the
subject already typed in.
You can find many uses for this, especially if you do a lot of email ...
have fun
NEW:
Instead of just one name
on an address link, you can include a large number of names
Do all the steps the
same as in the example above, except after the first name place a comma
and a space, then type a second name (comma) (space), third name (comma)
(space), etc. followed by the subject line. It should look like this
Example
mailto:firstscreenname, second,
third, ?Subject=Mailing List
Click here to send
to the mailing list
<---Click here to see how it comes out.
Practical Applications for this type of email link would be where you
want to share a small mailing list (under 100 people) with others. Our
organization the Knights of Kindness uses this type of hyperlink so that
our members can click one hyperlink and send emails to almost every senator
in the United states with one click.
