SquirrleyMojo recently asked how to create a link with text that pops up when you're mousing over it. Luckily, this is easy, or I wouldn't be able to do it.
Let's say you want to put a link in one of your blog posts.
1) Find your URL and copy it
2) Highlight the text within the post you want to make into a link
3) Click the Link button
4) Paste in the URL and click OK
(Your link is done, you've done that part before - now the new stuff)
5) Click the 'Edit Html' link at the top right of the compose field
6) Find your link within the HTML - it will look like this:
7) You add in a little string of text that reads:
.....title="it's easy!" or whatever you want. Long sentences will be cut off, btw.
(I usually put this right after the 'a' and before the 'href' - be sure to space it out so no words run together - like so:
8) Publish the post! You're all done.
Probably too many steps for an average blogger - someday there'll be button for 'add mouseover text' but for now, there's this method.

you do, indeed, rock
ReplyDeleteGreat! It works but only for the first word. Please explain how to show a whole sentence or so. Tnx!
ReplyDeleteTony - the method I described allows you to type in as much text as you like - the internet browser might have settings limiting how much is displayed, and I wouldn't be able to advise you there.
