How do I link Twitter on my website so I get more followers?

An email came in today from a teacher asking:


After thinking about all the possible solutions, I offer this solution:

HOW TO MANY ANY IMAGE CLICKABLE

This method works in Google GMail, Sites, Docs, Drawings, et al.  

The process is quite simple and the steps are easy to follow.  You will need a the URL of the website you would like to link the image to.  Text can also be linked.

Copy the link of your Twitter profile page.  Here is my profile link on Twitter:

Now find or create an image that your want to use.  If you are using one from the internet be aware of the usage rights and be sure to give the author credit.  For our purposes we will be using a Twitter button (found here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2794/4233520483_eb85d03abe_o.png).  

This image is a .png image.  We use .png because they have transparent backgrounds so there is no framing box around the image.

Now highlight the image the same way you would select text and click the link button

and put in the URL of the twitter profile in the box provided.  




The image below is a final example.  On an email it shows up as Go to Link, but if you do this process on a website, it will make it clickable.

Let me know if you have questions.

Common Reads on Yavapai College Campus

Image
 For the past four years, Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ continues to encourage a campus wide community with their Common Reads.  Each year since the program started, a book is chosen, YC purchases copies of it to give away, some instructors include it as part of their curriculum, and the whole campus-faculty, staff, and students-are encouraged to read the book. Fostering the sense of community and belonging across campus, individuals at YC can ask each other, "Are you reading the book, the common read?", and soon a dialogue can develop with a common starting point. The program started in 2019, with the first book being T he Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot .  The program has been going strong with more people participating every year. In 2020, the common read was  There, There by Tommy Orange The common read for 2021 was Educated by Tara Westover And this year's common read is House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
