First, is the "code" a simple URL:
http://www.theothersite.com/some_page.html
If a simple URL: In design view, type the text you want to
name/describe the link, where you want it to appear on the page. In
this example, I used "Useful Link" on a new line.
Highlight that text and go to either the Hyperlink icon on the
toolbar, or Insert Menu > Hyperlink, or hit Control-K.
If need be, do as Ron says with notepad, this strips away any
formatting leaving only simple text.
Paste the URL into the box provided in "Create Hyperlink". On my
version of FP, the "http://" defaults in this box, either delete it or
mark it before you paste the URL over it or you'll get:
http://http://www.theothersite.com/some_page.html
In code view, this is what you get:
<p><a href="http://www.theothersite.com/some_page.htm">Useful
Link</a></p>
If you need to place more involved code on a page, do as Ron says with
notepad, then:
In design view, place your cursor at the point where you want the link
to display.
Switch to code view, the cursor should be at the proper place to paste
the code in. Paste, then switch back to design view and/or preview to
see the results.
Practice on a copy of the page first to get the feel of it. If you
aren't comfortable messing around in code view it can get pretty
confusing in there if you get lost. All the landmarks are, you guessed
it, in code...

If you have many links it might be a good idea to create a new page
and link to it from your home page. If it's just a few links, pick a
spot on an existing page and make a links "section" there.
