How to Link to an IRC Channel Using HTML

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Open up your HTML file with a text editor such as Notepad

   <a href="irc:
   IRC</a>
   
   For demonstration purposes we will use freenode. <a href="irc:
   IRC</a>
   
   This is optional.
   
   However, if you do you use the port number it must preceded by a colon symbol.
   
   If you don't need a port number just remove ":port" from your code. <a href="irc:
   IRC</a>
   
   In this example, we will link to LifeGuide Hub's channel. <a href="irc:
   IRC</a>
   
   If it is a public channel, then remove "?key". <a href="irc:
   IRC</a>
   
   <a href="irc:
   Visit My IRC Channel</a>
   
   Click it to make sure it works properly.
   
   If it doesn't try the steps over again or check your code for mistakes.
   
   Final product:
   Visit My IRC Channel
