Test Post Three

There are two ways to insert a hyperlink into a WordPress site. In this post, I will be teaching you both.

Way #1 Blogroll

One way is by adding a link to the blogroll. This puts a link on the sidebar on every page on your site. You will need to have a blogroll widget somewhere in your site for this to work.

Blogrolls are becoming outdated so don’t make this your primary link space. Use the text of your website instead.

Way #2 Inline Hyperlink

The better way is to insert the link into a post. Typing out a domain like www.ThomasUmstattd.com without making it a link is unprofessional.

The better way is to make the text link directly. So instead of putting www.ThomasUmstattd.com you would put Thomas Umstattd. People know that blue text = a hyperlink.
