    Hi,
    I would like to link the word Lighting on Outdoor Lighting to an external url on this page http://www.marthasgarden.net/wedding_packages.html
    Could someone tell me the way to do this. I know this is really
    simple for a coder but its pretty hard for me so I would really appreciate your help.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Site is down for me as well. But if I've understood your question right, then you basically want to create an anchor text link. If this is it, here is the code for you:

    Outdoor <a href="URL_of_page_you want_to_link_to">Lighting</a>

    Hi,
    thanks for you replies. The site is appearing ok to me ????
    Thanks akinak i've tried it that way but it doesn't work.
    Maybe I'm inserting the code in the wrong place. If you could take a look
    at the html script maybe you could give me a solution

    thanks

    The site also has a couple of other links on the resources page . I've checked the html script and it seems to be different from the one you have told me akinak

    This is the snippet of code for the text in question (courtesy of Google cache).

    <font color="#666633" face="Garamond"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">v<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">Outdoor Lighting </span></font>
    Code (markup):
    Dude. You really need to learn CSS. A lot of this code could be cleaner.

    But to answer your question. You need to wrap the word Lighting with an anchor tag just like Akinak described previously.

    <font color="#666633" face="Garamond"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">v<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Book Antiqua&quot;;">Outdoor [COLOR="Red"][B]<a href="http://domain.com/page.html">Lighting</a>[/B][/COLOR] </span></font>
    Code (markup):
    I highlighted the portion in red. Replace the Url with the proper page you want the link to jump to.

    Hi,
    as I mentioned Dodge I'm comletely ingnorant in coding. Dude, whats CSS ha ha ha.
    Thanks for your advice, I got that code in there and its working now but when I point to it
    the words turn white.Going to have to solve that. I bought this site a week ago.
    I liked it cause its related to my niche, it's dmoz and google listed and its a pretty old
    domain (2000). I think good seo work done on it for certain keywords could get very good results.
    Thanks to you akinak, the string was right I just didn't know where to put it.
    You guys have been really helpfull.

    Guess I've been lucky. But is down at the moment I think because I'm getting a DNS done.

    Cool..looks like a good site to buy. Optimize it and it will definitely pay you back. Yes, I think the site is down due to DNS.

    Btw..dude, you should atleast know HTML if you are running a site..will do you gud in future.
