Frequently asked questions

How do I link to the Society of Authors website?

You can add a graphic to your website that will link to the SofA homepage. All you have to do is follow these steps:

1. Right-click (or, if you are using a Mac, click and hold) on the graphic below and save it to your hard disk:

2. Copy and paste the following HTML code to your web page:

<pre> < a target="_blank" title="Visit the Society of Authors" href="http://www.societyofauthors.org/"> < img height="85" border="0" width="141" alt="Link to The Society of Authors" src="[FILENAME]" /> < /a> < /pre>

where [FILENAME] is the name of the image file which you have saved. If your graphic isn't in the same directory or folder as the web page, you'll need to change the "img src=" attribute to point to the image’s correct location.

3. Upload your web page with the new HTML and the graphic to your web server.

If you want to create an ordinary text link, skip the steps above that relate to the graphic, and copy and paste the following HTML code at a suitable point on your page: 

< pre> < a href="http://www.societyofauthors.org/" title="Link to The Society of Authors" target="_blank"> Visit the Society of Authors< /a> < /pre>

4.
