Is there any real difference in whether you embed a link using the multimedia block or attaching a link to a word or phrase in a text block? They seem to function in the same way to me. Is that correct or is there any particular advantage to using either way?

Hi there, Liz! When you use an embed block, you're going to get some dedicated space for that content which will display in one of 2 ways:
Displaying a preview of the content with the option to open it in another window:
Displaying the actual web content right within the block:
In the above examples, I used the same web URL, but in the second image, I added it using an iframe code to bring it right into the lesson.
A hyperlink in your text can be clicked to open the content in another window, and it doesn't show any sort of preview of the content.
Hi Crystal,
Thank you for that - it makes perfect sense.
