Ys with newer versions of YMCA Website Services can add attributes to their links, including a title ( for tooltips) HTML ID, HTML rel and CSS classes. You can also opt to have your link open in a new window/tab.
Linking Tips
- For links on your website, don’t use the full URL. Highlight everything beginning with the
/after your.com,.org, etc.- For example, for openy.org/about, you would choose /about. This is called the relative path, and it will help your analytics tracking.
- For links on other websites, grab the full URL, including the
https://.- For example, for openy.org/about, you would choose https://ycloud.y.org/open-y-association-websites/about.
- For email links, add
"mailto:example@exampleymca.org."
To update/change a link, highlight the link text and click the link icon or Ctrl+K (Windows) /Command(⌘)+K (Mac).
To remove a link, highlight the link text and click the unlink icon.
Pro Tip: The link button doesn’t support opening links in a new window or tab, such as with a
"target='_blank'"You can either use HTML or the WYSIWYG button tool to create links in new tabs.
