Offsite Linking
Linking a page to a site other than our own is actually really simple. It is a little weird at first though because it's not exactly the same as page linking, even though really it would make sense if it was… A-anyway the code for creating a hyperlink to another site is…
[http://yoururlhere.com display text]
This works for loading the newly linked page in the same browser tab/window as the current page.
In other words it will overwrite the current page for a user, rather than open it up in something new.
However the back button can be a bitch so we do have another option.
[*http://yoururlhere.com display text]
Note the asterisk in front of the URL, that's all you have to add.
So there you have it, offsite linking.
