How do I add a link? Simple!
If you want to add a link to a website that you found you need the URL (web address) for that website. Here is how you do it: For example, I want to add a link to the Wisconsin Humane Society. That URL is: [] So, to add a link from a wiki page to a website - like the Wisconsin Humane Society:
 * Go to the site and copy the URL - located in the address field at the top or the webpage ( [] )
 * Go to the Wiki page and Type in some text like: Click here to go to the Wisconsin Humane Society or just WHS
 * Highlight that text
 * In the 'floating' Editor toolbar, select 'Link'
 * Click on 'External Link' and paste the URL in to that field
 * Test your link
 * PS - An 'external link' is one that is NOT a wiki page - it is located OUTSIDE of your wiki. A Wiki link will be a link to a page inside your wiki
