How do I link to other posts? How do people link to my posts?

Linking to other posts is fairly simple if you follow the steps below.

  • When you entering the body text for a new post, you will see a link icon that looks like a chain in the toolbar above the text entry area.
  • Highlight the text in your post that you want to link from, then click on the link icon.
  • A new window will pop up that allows you to enter the address that you want to link to.
  • Enter the entire URL address if you are linking to a site outside of ProgressiveU.org (for example, http://www.campusactivism.org/displaygroup-1118.htm).
  • Click OK, and your link is inserted.
  • After you have submitted an image or blog post, you will see a URL in the address bar of your browser in a format like this: http://www.progressiveu.org/17302-why-i-blog. This is the address you should use if you are sending the link to friends by email, or if you want them to link to it from another site.
  • You can also use this URL address if you are creating a link to your post or image from within ProgressiveU.org (say you're writing a new blog post and you want to refer people to something you posted earlier).
