How To Put A Link In A Facebook Note

Putting a link into a Facebook note
Here’s an example of a link embedded in a Facebook Note

1. Create your note on your Facebook profile. Then, in another window on your browser, find the page you want to link to. Select that page’s url and copy it.

2. Go back to your note and find the text you want to transform into a link. Place your cursor in front of the first letter and type in these characters:
The beginning of an html hypertext link tag

3. Now, after the first set of quote marks, paste in the url you just copied and then put another set of quotation marks followed by a bracket after it like so:
The rest of the opening link tag

4. Next, go to the last character in the string of text you want to link to and after it type:
The closing tag in an html hypertext link

There’s actually a pretty good range of html markup you can add to a note. Facebook has a good guide to using HTML tags here.

  1. Hi! Thank you for this post. Actually, I’m not very familiar with this topic but after reading your post, it’s clear now! Keep up the good posts like this. Take care!

  2. I haven’t used notes yet (plan to), nice to know they support markup!

  3. That is exactly what I thought I had done – but it doesn’t display correctly in my browser (IE 7). Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
