  Linking overview
Links (hyperlinks) let you setup clickable text and images.

Types of links
There are 4 basic types of links that you can add to your web pages.

Link to other web sites
These are links that when clicked take the visitor to another web site.

Link to pages on your site
Links to pages on your site take the visitor to another page on your site.

Link to an email address
When an email link is clicked the default email program on the visitors computer is opened for sending a new email with the "TO" address pre-filled with your linked email address.
