How do I tell if a link is hot or cold? Please explain to the computer illiterate (me).
hot link is a link to another page that you can directly click and it will take you to the website. A hot link is usually blue and underlined. A cold link you can not click, it just looks like regular text. You would have to copy and paste it into the browser address bar to get to the webpage. If it is a hotlink the page you are going to will potentially know where you are coming from. at least that is how I understand it.
