Instructions for adding a backlink in the footer of a simple website’s homepage.
If your website doesn't have a theme or a content management system like WordPress, and you're working with plain HTML and CSS files, you can manually edit the HTML file to add the link. Follow these steps:
1. Access Your Website Files:
Locate and access the HTML file of your homepage. This is typically named index.html or home.html.
2. Open the HTML File in a Text Editor:
Use a text editor such as Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Mac), or any code editor like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text.
3. Find the Closing </body> Tag:
Scroll down to the end of the HTML file and find the closing </body> tag. This is where you'll add your link.
4. Insert the Link Code:
Just above the </body> tag, insert the following HTML code:
<a href="https://dyrectory.com">dyrectory.com Business Directory</a>
5. Save the Changes:
Save the changes you made to the HTML file.
6. Upload the Updated HTML File:
If your website is hosted on a server, upload the modified HTML file to the server, replacing the existing file.
7. Check the Homepage:
Visit your website's homepage in a web browser to ensure that the backlink has been added to the footer.
