How do I create a link in a text area?

To create a link in a general content area, begin in opening your text editing options and highlighting the word or phrase in your text box that you wish to link. Next, click on the chain-link icon (see below). A new options box will pop open.

Enter the web address of the page/website that you wish to link to (begin with http://), and choose any additional options you require. After you are satisfied with your new link, click on 'insert'. Select Save and Publish to save your changes and ensure they have been made.
