How to Make HTML Link Button and Open it in New Window

You still don’t know that link is one of the most important elements of any website. So today I'll show you how to make an HTML link, how to convert it into button and open it in a new window.

Advantages of using links

Link in blogs and sites are primarily used to link similar pages and thereby interest the reader with other posts of our resource.

During such a connection, the pages of our blog are relinking. In such way, we can help our blog to become more readable, which could make him more popular in search systems.

However, the main thing is that we need to relink between each other only similar within the meaning pages. If the topic of relinking pages is different that even could break down your SEO.

Links should also be used if we need to indicate a different site or blog in posts so that users can go to it.

How to make HTML link

In each platform, be it a blog, website, forum, etc. HTML editor is also provided. So go to your HTML editor and write the following code:

HTML<a href="link.com"> anchor </a>

Instead, link.com paste your link
Anchor - this is a text that follows the link

I just showed you a general method for creating HTML links. However, in all modern editors, links can be created much easier. You just need to find an icon or symbol on the dashboard that looks like a chain, and sometimes this function is signed as "Link". 

Look at the picture where you can see two sentences:

1. Open this link in a new window
2. Add "rel=nofollow" attribute

So what does it mean? If you activate these two functions, first, if somebody clicks on a link, then a page will open in a new window. Rel=nofollow attribute needs to use when you add a link on other website or blog, it's also called as external link. The link itself gives part of its rating to another page, when this is the page of our blog, it’s fine, however, if this is a page from another resource, then it will be advisable if we keep the rating of our publication using attribute "rel=nofollow". You also can add these attributes in HTML like this:

HTML<a href='link.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'> anchor </a>

And we're done it. Congrats now you know hot make HTML link and how to make it open in a new window.

How to make HTML link button

It's really simple to do. First, create an HTML link in the same way as we do it in the first chapter. So it will look like:

HTML<a href='link.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'> anchor </a>

But in order to make the button, we need to set for it the CSS code and for this, we need to give that link a special class name. For example, let it be class='button'.

HTML<a class='button' href='link.com' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'> anchor </a>

Now we can write CSS code for our button.

CSS.button{color:#fff;padding:8px;border-radius:5px;background:#ff6007;box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.9)}

Result: My home page

Our mission complete.
