How to Post Links in a Tweet on Twitter

Posting Links in a Tweet

Twitter users can post just about anything on their Twitter account from photos and videos to links and polls. Posting a link is a simple task. When it’s posted it can be clicked on by anyone that sees the tweet. All links are highlighted in blue.

If the link doesn’t work for some reason, people could copy and paste the link into their web browser. People can share links if they want to promote a particular website or share something that they like with their followers. As long as the characters fit in the tweet, it can be posted.

1) Start by clicking on the text box for posting tweets, which is in the middle of the main Twitter page. You can also create a tweet by clicking on the blue ‘tweet’ button in the top right corner of the screen.
