Hyper link

tobeme

Is it possible I can put a hyperlink to the text description? That was possible in legacy smugmug.

I have not done this yet but will definitely be doing it - the method is to add an HTML block, not a text block. That will let you HTML to your heart's content. In the list of blocks you can add, HTML and CSS are at the bottom of the list. Drag a block to the place where you want to put the text and link, etc., and format away.

Your link probably works, but doesn't look like a link (yet another one ofyje numerous things that worked in old SM and don't in new SM).

Aaron (leftquark) wrote a CSS code to change the link's color. See it here:

Just add this...

<a href="Your-Link-Here">Text Here</a>

I also seem to recall there's a link tool in the text block. I believe you highlight the text you want converted, and then hit the link icon (sort of looks like an "8" on it's side) pasting the URL into the popup. I may be mistaken though...

I have links in gallery descriptions and in photo captions. I chose to make them bold as a hint to viewers that the words are clickable. I also have site-wide CSS to change the color of the link on hover.

You can see an example in the description of this gallery - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel/Alberta-2013/A-few-favorites.

The link was placed with this code:

<a href="http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com/search/label/Alberta%202013"><b>blog</b></a>

I have this code in my theme to add a hover effect to all links on my site:

/* Adds hover effect to all links on site */
a :hover, 
a:hover {
  color: #19a791 !important;
  text-decoration: overline !important;
}

Yes, it's there in the text block. No html needed.

You can also put a link in the description, and it will show as a link on hover.
