13 Ways to LINK an Item!

Most of you probably know or have heard about using bitem links when entering WdC contests, but did you also know there's actually thirteen different ways to link to an item? Some of these linking methods are used quite often, while others are rarely used.

NOTE: WdC ML is Writing.com Markup Language, how the site codes things for us to use.

MASTERY GOAL:
Show four different ways to link the same item.

LESSON: >> Click here ▼

You will often need to link your work, or others', when you post on WDC.

There are several types of links! The first two are the ones you will use the most often.

Just click on the colored links for details

Who knew there were 13 ways to link an item?!
Here they are!

It will look like this: "WhataLand"

WritingML Help for big item >> {B-item:2129802}

This is the one most often required when entering an item into a contest.

#2129802 by Whata SpoonStealer

Here is an excellent video that explains how to do that. "Video: Linking to an Item"

If you are still unsure, try taking a look at this resource. "Invalid Item"

WritingML Help for clean item >> {C-item:2129802}

This pretty much looks like the B-item, but you will notice that the cover image has no label. Also omitted is the envelope and the plus sign. It is a "cleaner" version.
