I can’t figure out how to get the homepage slider to link to anything. I put content in the body on the backend thinking that would do it – but I see in the demo you can hyperlink the text in the description box on the slide. I just can’t figure out how to do that on the backend either. Any help for this blogger 101? Thank you!

Hello there,
When creating a slide, you have to use the field “Slide Description” to edit what you’ll see on the slide content. To include a link over there you can do it with a simple html tag:
text of the link
Replace http://link-url.com with the URL you want to use.
Replace “text of the link” with the anchor text you want to use.
Best,
Juan.

Hmmmm, ok, thanks. I get the slide description part. But all I can do it type text in that box – even when I put a link in that box – it doesn’t hyperlink. I am sure this sounds like I am really dumb, but I’m not real experienced with HTML, etc.

Oh sorry, my bad!
The forum replaced the html content I’ve posted.
This is what you need to use:
```
text of the link
```
Sorry again,
Juan.
