Creating Links

  • Highlight the text you want to link. The linked text should communicate the content at the destination page. Do not use phrases such as "click here" or "read more". 

  • Click the Link icon in the toolbar.

  • If you're linking to a page on the Law School website: in the URL field of the pop-up window, start typing the page title of the page you want to link to. Click on the page you want to link to. Please choose your page carefully as some pages share similar names.

  • If you don't see your page, paste in the path of the page you want to link to, e.g., /jdadmissions. Click on the page in the results list instead of leaving the path in the URL field.

  • Be sure to test your link after you publish the page.

  • For links to other NYU Law websites or to external sites use the the full URL of the destination page, e.g., https://www.google.com

  • If you want a link to an email address, use “mailto:someone@yoursite.com” in the URL field making sure to include “mailto:” before the persons email.

  • Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of your page and click Save. :)
