Embedded links are the most common type of link. The link is designated by a "hot area" identified by a word or object. These link to other web pages outside of your blog. Using external links are useful in giving access to information that verifies the information presented in your blog, or provided related reading material.
 
===Inline links===
Inline links do not take the reader off the page. These links display content that is located somewhere else on the web, but they do not require the user to navigate away from the blog. The most common types of inline links are pictures and videos. The author displays these graphics on his or her page, but acknowledges that they originated elsewhere on the internet.  


===Internal links===
===Anchors===
These are links that connect the reader to other pages within your blog. One of the most important internal links is a link to the home page. As bloggers, we should keep in mind that not all users access each page through the home page. Providing a link to the homepage gives them access to the rest of your content.Related content
