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:
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:
4. Next, go to the last character in the string of text you want to link to and after it type:
NOTE: I have had a couple of readers tell me that this didn’t work for them. If you try it and it doesn’t work as a link, please leave a comment below. Facebook has an annoying way of changing things around so it never hurts to test again once in a while.
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!
I haven’t used notes yet (plan to), nice to know they support markup!
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?
This post just really helped me out of a jam quickly. Thank you!
hi,
thank you very much for the post.
helped me a lot!
jenn,
THANK YOU for this very helpful post. I know squat about html, but you just helped me put up my first fb note very nicely.
Thank you!
I just followed these instructions and they worked perfectly! For those of us who are “visual” learners your graphics were very helpful.
Thanks for the tip! It was the first in a google search and it works !
Going to try this now, so far i have had no luck with links in FB, but this might help. Thanks
Followed the instructions for making a URL in FaceBook into a link. It did not work for me, in trying to place a “link”, in “FaceBook Notes”. Went to FaceBook help article, re: Notes Links, and the article is not available (???).
The URL noted in this post, is hosted on the “keep And Share” server, as FaceBook Notes will not allow me to copy and paste articles there, again (???) Read everything I could find on the internet, but no luck (!!!??).
Oh, my!
