How to place a link back to our Charity Hosting page on your website
This article assumes that you already have your free Charity Hosting account set up with Kualo.
Welcome to our charity hosting initiative!
As a condition of providing a free charity hosting account, we require you include a single unobtrusive text link on your website home page, in the footer, or somewhere on an 'About Us' page.
It does not need to be on every page and in fact our preference is that it would not be on every page. Alternatively if you run a blog, you could perhaps write a brief thanks article about our charity hosting offer.
The idea is to spread the word about the initiative, so that we can help even more charities to get their websites online for free.
For the footer link, the HTML code that you'd need to use is as follows:
<a href="https://www.kualo.com/free-charity-hosting" title="Free Charity Hosting">Free Charity Hosting by Kualo</a>
Depending on the type of web site you are running, the embed code implementation may vary, so please refer to the information below, based on the most commonly used applications.
Wordpress
Option 1) Adding the code as a widget:
- Login to your WordPress Dashboard and go to Appearance --> Widgets. Select the Text Widget.
- Drag the Text WIdget to the Footer section on your website
- Copy and Paste the HTML code into the text field
- Click Save
Option 2) Embedding the code into a page or post
- Open the post page where you would like to display the link

The available positions and their titles depend on the template you are currently using.
Different templates have different positions where you can place modules (in our case - links).
