1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Dr. Lodine is one of the founders of KinetECO and in his Bio that we just dropped 2 00:00:06,001 --> 00:00:10,001 into this Web site, there's a mention of a place called Wind Powering America and 3 00:00:10,002 --> 00:00:13,002 he wants to be sure that we provide a link out to that Web site. 4 00:00:13,003 --> 00:00:17,003 So we are going to need to edit that particular article, and make sure that 5 00:00:17,004 --> 00:00:19,004 that link is in place. 6 00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:25,005 So, we're going to need to edit that article and make a link out to that Web site. 7 00:00:25,006 --> 00:00:30,006 Inside of your Exercise Files, you'll find a document that I have provided for 8 00:00:30,007 --> 00:00:34,007 you and there is the link, and it's this whole link right here. 9 00:00:34,008 --> 00:00:39,008 Anytime to link out to an external Web site, you're always going to need to be 10 00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:44,009 sure to put http:// in front of that link. 11 00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:49,010 If you don't and you leave out the http://, you will make a link that goes 12 00:00:49,011 --> 00:00:53,011 somewhere inside of the Web site, and it's a broken link, because of course you 13 00:00:53,012 --> 00:00:56,012 don't have a page called windpoweringamerica.gov. 14 00:00:56,013 --> 00:01:01,013 So, I've just gone ahead and highlighted this link here inside of this document, 15 00:01:01,014 --> 00:01:06,014 and I am going to say Edit>Copies, so that I have this ready, when I am ready to go with it. 16 00:01:06,015 --> 00:01:08,015 And now from my Control Panel in Joomla! 17 00:01:08,016 --> 00:01:12,016 I'm going to go to my Article Manager, so, Content>Article Manager, and I am 18 00:01:12,017 --> 00:01:17,017 going to go to the Executive's page, and here inside the Executive's page for 19 00:01:17,018 --> 00:01:22,018 Dr. Lodine frequently collaborates with Wind Powering America and the words 20 00:01:22,019 --> 00:01:26,019 Wind Powering America are the words that should link to the Wind Powering America Web site. 21 00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:30,020 So, I am going to go ahead and highlight those words just click and drag to 22 00:01:30,021 --> 00:01:36,021 highlight them, and then to make the link, all I need to do now is click on the Link icon. 23 00:01:36,022 --> 00:01:41,022 It's the chain-link icon, in the second row here, and if I click on that, 24 00:01:41,023 --> 00:01:45,023 I can now Paste my link into this window Ctrl + V or Cmd+V to paste in the 25 00:01:45,024 --> 00:01:50,024 link and then comes the question of whether I should open this link in a 26 00:01:50,025 --> 00:01:51,025 New window or the same window. 27 00:01:51,026 --> 00:01:54,026 Some people will tell you that when you link to an external Web site, you should 28 00:01:54,027 --> 00:01:59,027 always open in a New window, or New tab, so that, your Web site is still open and 29 00:01:59,028 --> 00:02:01,028 that people can get back to it. 30 00:02:01,029 --> 00:02:05,029 Other people feel like you should never open any windows in a New tab or 31 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:08,030 New window, you should always open them in the same tab. 32 00:02:08,031 --> 00:02:12,031 So in other words, people are leaving your Web site, and they can't get back to 33 00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:15,032 you except by hitting the back button many times. 34 00:02:15,033 --> 00:02:20,033 My advice to you is whatever feels comfortable to you is fine, but treat all 35 00:02:20,034 --> 00:02:22,034 external links on your Web site the same way. 36 00:02:22,035 --> 00:02:26,035 So, if you decide that you are going to go open External links in a 37 00:02:26,036 --> 00:02:30,036 New window, open them all in a New window, don't open some in the same window and 38 00:02:30,037 --> 00:02:31,037 some in New Windows. 39 00:02:31,038 --> 00:02:35,038 So, at KinetECO we have decided to open them all in New windows, so here under 40 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:39,039 Target, where it says, open in this window, or frame, we are going to switch 41 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,040 this to Open in a New Window, and then we just say Insert, and you'll notice 42 00:02:43,041 --> 00:02:47,041 that the words Wind Powering America turn blue, and there's no underline. 43 00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:51,042 This is the way that this happens to look here inside of Joomla!. 44 00:02:51,043 --> 00:02:53,043 Blue with no underline is in fact a link. 45 00:02:53,044 --> 00:02:58,044 If I try to click this by clicking on it right now, I'll roll my mouse over and 46 00:02:58,045 --> 00:03:01,045 I am clicking my mouse as hard as I can, nothing happens. 47 00:03:01,046 --> 00:03:05,046 Why, because we're here editing this article inside of Joomla!. 48 00:03:05,047 --> 00:03:08,047 To test this link what I would actually have to do is put this on the front end 49 00:03:08,048 --> 00:03:12,048 to the Web site, and we haven't gotten there yet, because we're still on the A in 50 00:03:12,049 --> 00:03:15,049 the CAM, we did our categories we're still working on our articles. 51 00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:18,050 We haven't gotten to linking them up to menus yet. 52 00:03:18,051 --> 00:03:22,051 As soon as we do, we can test that link to make sure it works. 53 00:03:22,052 --> 00:03:26,052 So, that's all we need to do, go ahead and say Save and Close and we've just put 54 00:03:26,053 --> 00:03:28,053 an external link into our Webpage.
