Hyperlinks

There are two types of hyperlinks: Internal and External.

An internal hyperlink is a link to pages or assets within your site only. For these, it is best to select None as your link target. While you may be able to view other richmond.edu sites, links to them from your site are actually external links.

An external link is a link to a site outside richmond.edu or to a PDF document. It is best to select New Window as your link target.
