Creating links and buttons

Adding a button to content on your website can be a powerful way of drawing an action from a user. A well placed button can prompt a user to enter the registration purchase process, read more and get excited about speakers or begin subitting a paper.  This article shows you the simple steps to creating links and buttons.

Creating a link

A link can be created in any text editor by:

• Writing the content of your link.
• Highlighting the text and clicking the 'link' button (looks like a chain link, ).
• Enter the URL that you would like your link to use and hit OK.
• Save the page.

   You have now added a hyperlink to that URL into your content, now for some style.

Styling a button

The theme that you have selected for your website has a variety of button styles available within it.     To view the available styles:

• Highlight the link that you created above.
• Click the 'Formats' dropdown and hover over the 'Buttons' item.
• Select one of the button styles available.
• Save the page.

...And now you have a button linked to your URL and is nicely styled to match your theme!
