Luckily, it’s a simple process!

Triond makes adding links to your articles a simple process. All you need to do is repeat the following structure:

Article name (followed by the) http article address

And, wah lah! – You’re done.

Just as you add links for the pictures in your articles, follow the same pattern for links to your articles.

Can you place links anywhere in your article?

Yes, sometimes it’s a good idea to place relevant links within your article. Just follow the directions above and add them to any place in the body of your work.

Sometimes it’s best to add links within the context of your writing, while other times it’s a good idea to entertain your readers with great work and then leave them with direct ways to find more of your work. If they love one of your articles, they are sure to love your other articles as well. Make it easy for them to find more of your work that is subject matter specific.

In addition, sometimes it’s a good idea to add links that have nothing to do with the subject of your article, especially with some of your more innovative, unique pieces. This can entice and intrigue the reader and make them need to read on. Use your best judgment, ingenuity, and gifts to fullest extent! The world and everyone in it will only be better as a result.

My article has been published, but the link has not been properly formatted.

I have found this to be the case sometimes. I realize that the Triond staff is very busy and sometimes they can make a mistake here and there. I know I’ve made more mistakes than I care to recount. So, I have found that if I simply add a note at the top of the Word document that I submit for publishing that gives instructions to make all the links like they do for the picture source links, I am quite pleased with the results.

When you write any note to Triond editors, I find it’s best to make sure to add that the note needs to be taken out of the article, just to be on the safe side. I have worked as an editor before, and it is not an easy job. I commend them for all the amazing work they are able to produce on our behalf. It is quite extraordinary when you think about it. New writers sign up for this site everyday and yet, somehow, they continue to be able to publish our work within 24 hours. They are a blessing to all of us.

Do you have a blog?

If you have a blog and want to create a link, then you need to know a little HTML.

When it comes to computers and technology, I must admit, I am typically all thumbs, but through trial and error, I was able to successfully figure it out that HTML is truly like any other language, once you learn a few things you start to realize that when codes are placed in a specific order (like letters in the alphabet), you can create many intriguing things!

So, if you want to link your articles to your blog format and/or posts, all you need to do is the following:

(PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE FACT THAT TRIOND’S PUBLISHING FEATURE RE-FORMATS THE FORMAT BELOW I HAD TO ADD A SPACE BETWEEN THE “<” SYMBOL THE FORMAT.  PLEASE USE THE FORMULAS BELOW, BUT TAKE THE SPACES OUT.)

< a href=”www.YourHTTPArticleAddress.com” >Your Article Name< /a >

The first part of the formula above within the “< >” symbols is the destination and the second part is what shows up on your article as the link to click on.

Thus, the link would look like this:

Your Article Name

And, in closing, here are a few more HTML coding tips that make a difference in your work:

Add spacing to your work.

Place
after the coding sentence above and you will add a space.

< br / >= space.

Do you want to bold or italicize something in your work?

< b > = bold
< b / > = end bold

< i > = italicize

< /i > = end italicizing
