Links
Hyperlinks are used to link one web page to another web page. They are commonly referred to as simply "links". Links are very important to a web page. If no one linked to your web page, how would people you didn't know find your web page? You can add links from other web pages that you like or that cover topics that are interesting to you.
Links are easy to add to a web page. The syntax for a link is <a href="the web address of the web page">The name of the web page</a>. It is used in the following way.
Your Page in HTML looks something like this . For this example the text color is set to purple, the link color to red and the visited link color to blue:
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body text="#FF00FF" link="#FF0000" vlink="#FF0000">
<p>This is my first web page. I'm learning how to make links now. I want to link back to the EMuseum. Here is the link I made:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="">The EMuseum</a>
</blockquote>
</body>
</html>
This results in the reader seeing this:
This is my first web page. I'm learning how to make links now. I want to link back to the EMuseum. Here is the link I made:
The link above actually goes to the EMuseum. If you click on it and then hit the back button on your browser you will see that the link color changed from red to blue. You can add link anywhere on you web page, even in the middle of text. The name of the web page is what the reader sees as colored and underlined when they look at your web page. You can put anything there you like, however, it is best to make the title of the link be descriptive of the web page it leads to so that readers will know where they are going.
Now that you know how to make a link, let's add some images!
