Wordpress Questions

[TCH-Thomas]

I am about to start my own blog (no posts yet though ), but there are two things I can´t figure out...

 

1) In Links > Add link, there is something called "Link Relationship (XFN)" with several options.

Is that something I need to use and if so, what do I do with it?

 

2) In other peoples wordpress blogs I´ve seen a square with an arrow in it.

I assume its when I make a link to something outside, but when I tried making a link, this squared arrow thing didn´t show up, is it supposed to?

1) I don't use the relationship thing. I've read about it but it didn't make any sense to me.

 

2) I searched all over for how to do those external link icons. I can't remember where I finally found them. I'll email mine to you.

Ok, I skip number one then.

As for number 2, thanks.

I use WordPress but never used the Link Relationship feature either.

The square with the arrow is used to represent links that take you offsite. People have added those themselves through themes that have support for them built in, changing the code themselves, or plugins. However, I've never used the symbols, so I don't have any direct knowledge of what's available.

Thanks Mike.

Bruce sent me some images and code for this.

I haven´t implemented it yet since I have bigger problems with the blog that I need to solve first.
