External+Links

Here are two different types of links to an external webpage:
 * 1) New Hampshire Department of Education ([])
 * 2) New Hampshire RTI Pilot Wiki Site: http://nhrti-pilot.wikispaces.com/

To create this, you can do one of two things: 1. **Manual:** On the **text link (NH DOE):**
 * I typed the text onto the page, highlighted or selected it, and clicked the Link button.
 * I then completed the information in the popup box below.
 * I chose **External Link**, and chose **New Window** so the webpage will open into a new browser window.

2. **Copy and Paste a URL:** For the second link:
 * I just **copied and pasted the address (URL)** into the page, and it automatically created a link for me.
 * Note that when people click on that link, it will bring up the webpage OVER the current page rather than opening a new browser window.
 * If you'd like a NEW browser window to open, you need to change the link's properties.
 * In **Edit** mode, click once on the link and then click on the **Link** button at the top of the page, or hover over the link and choose **Change**.
