.<font color=#006400> * Linking To The Web:

This one of the coolest features here on iH and that’s really saying a lot, as there are way cool features here on Da Hub!

Hot Linking or remote linking as it is usually referred to a site outside of iH:

This is easy to do but has one drawback that must be dealt with and remembered, this being that once you have posted the link in the I-box or post, the links and script will be broken (lost and scrambled) if you edit (open) it.

To avoid this I suggest copying the i-Box or post before you hit the Submit button. (I save a copy on MS Word).

Note: If you forget to copy the i-Box Do Not Panic, Just hit the back button in your browser and the script will be there. Hint, Copy it!

Hot Linking also known as an Active Link or Remote Linking here on iH is done with the following script: [-url][/url-][-tag][/tag-] (without dashes).

Copy the URL starting after the “http://” and beginning with the “www” (if it there is one”, either way, start the url after the "HTTP://"

Paste this link in between the [-url] & [url-] (without dashes).

Now place the text or image of what you want to link to in between the [-tag][/tag-] (without dashes) part of the hot link script. Here is an example:

This hot link is to My Wife’s Art Work.

The Above Code:

This hot link is to [-url]www.carolsartondisplay.com[/url-][-tag]My Wife’s Art Work[/tag-]. (without dashes).

Note: You can use a image in place of text in the active link by using the [-chart][/chart-] tags placed between the [-tag][/tag-].
