#hover text tutorial

I’ve been asked about how to do this a few times, so here’s my quick & dirty tutorial on hover text.

Create a post. Make sure it is DONE and ready to post Add icons, do your formatting, etc. THEN select/highlight the text you want to make hover:

add a “link” wherever you want your hover text to be. Type in your hover:

Hit “Done”

Now find the settings icon and switch your post type to HTML:

somewhere in that mess of code, you’ll see a value “href” and your link text. 

Delete that and replace it with “title”  DO NOT DELETE THE =
