Adding links
Adding hyperlinks is a critical part of making your web page. It will allow others to
browse through your site easily and go to other sites referenced by you. Links are created through the
use of the <A> tag. The <A> tag is used in the following way. To make a link to
your favorite search engine you would do the following:
<A HREF="http://www.google.com">Google</A>
As you can see, the link is composed of several parts. The first part (A HREF="http://www.google.com") specifies
where the link is pointing to. In this case, it is pointing to http://www.google.com. The part between the
<A> and </A> tags define the text that is displayed on the web page for the link.
In addition to linking to web pages, you can link to images or e-mail addresses.
To link to an e-mail address, simply change where the link is pointing to to be "mailto:youremail@youremail.com". The link
should look like this.
<A HREF="mailto:youremail@youremail.com">My e-mail</A>
Now that you know how to make links, you can move on to adding images. Click here Adding images.
