    Hi Mat,

    I believe this tool will ultimately do exactly as I want it to do.
    I envision that I will eventually be adding links to edited text.
    In the initial set-up of the link, should I choose Target as
    blank, top or none?

    Where would I drag and drop the link from?

    Also what would be the circumstances to Add a nofollow.

    Sorry to burden you with such basic questions.

    Regards,
    Geoff.

    Hi Geoff,

    The link target determines how the link opens. For instance if you want the link to open a new tab you use “blank”. If you want the link to open in the current tab you can select none. Basic best practice is to use “blank” for any links that go to other people sites and “none” for links that go to your site.

    A nofollow is used to tell google not to follow the link when indexing. Comes in handy if you don’t want the links location to end up on Google search or you are linking to someone else’s site, or a section of your site that you prefer to not have on Google.

    The is a link ordering screen that allows you to drag and drop the order of the links. That is the only “drag and drop” link reference I can think of

    Hi again Mat,

    There is something That I don’t understand Mat. I have just noticed that links that I had included by conventional means now work. When I input them a few days ago, the space in the text where name of link was displayed only showed up as empty space. To say I am confused would be an understatement.

    Regards,
    Geoff.
