Creating links within your content is a straightforward operation. If you've ever browsed a website you already understand the concept of hyperlinks. To create such a link, follow these steps.
· In the Content field, select the text that you want to act as the link.
· Click the 'link' icon in the toolbar of the Content field.

· Enter the URL of the link in the HREF field in the pop-up window.
If linking to another website or a page on another website, use the absolute URL (i.e. "http://www.google.com")
If linking to another page in the CMS, you need to know the Group ID of the page that you will be linking to. Say you want to link to a page with Group ID of 1234. Enter "page1234.cfm" into the HREF or URL field.
Each page in the site has a unique Group_ID. You can find out the Group_ID of any page by navigating to it in the Explore tab, and selecting it to load up the Page Tools information on the page. Alternately, you can browse to it through the public side of your website. Once you are at the page look in the location bar of your browser. The last part of the URL will be in the form of "page1234.cfm" where 1234 is the Group ID.
- If you want the link to spawn a new browser window when clicked, enter "_blank" in the Target field. If you want the link to open in the same browser window simply leave this field blank.
- Click the "Insert Link" or "OK" button. The pop-up window will disappear and the selected text in the Content field now appears as a link.
NOTE: Don't forget to click the Save button in the Page Tools to save your changes in the Content Field.
