    Hey!

    On your Forefront demo, are the text boxes under the frontpage picture just plain text widgets? How can you add a link into them? I would like to put a “Read more…” link into the widget, that would lead into another one of my pages.

    Like on the demo page, frontpage textboxes “custom page templates” and “social media integration” have links in them. How do I do that?

    Thanks :)

    The blog I need help with is satuolkinuora.wordpress.com

    Hi there,

    On your Forefront demo, are the text boxes under the frontpage picture just plain text widgets? How can you add a link into them? I would like to put a “Read more…” link into the widget, that would lead into another one of my pages.

    Are you referring to these boxes?

    Those are text widgets in the Front Page Widget Area One.

    You can add links in a text widget like this, for example:

    <a href="http://satuolkinuora.wordpress.com/cv-2/">See my full CV</a>

    You can always create a link in a draft post using the Visual Editor and then copy-paste the code into a text widget if you’re more comfortable doing it that way. We even have a guide here:

    Just let me know if you need further help!
