Making Links Information

Making a link is really quite easy. The tag for this is called an "Anchor". <a href="http://www.merkury.com">Merkury Consulting: Domain Hosting</a>

<a

this is the start of the Anchor or "Link"

href

this means something like "hypertext reference"

="http://www.merkury.com"

the href is equal to the address, I was taught to use quotes. The HTML Builder does not.

>

have to end this beginning part with this bracket as in the example above

Merkury Consulting: Domain Hosting

this is the words of the Link that become the underlined Link color and show on the Page

</a>

this is the closing Anchor tag. If you forget it, the whole rest of the page will be a link to whatever address you put in the first part!

Here is a complete link put together again: <a href="http://www.starspiderdancing.net/htmlhelp/htmlbuilder.html">HTML Builder</a> Here is how the example Links (Anchors) look on a Web page:
Merkury Consulting: Domain Hosting
HTML Builder

You can also do the second Example like this
<a href="htmlbuilder.html">HTML Builder</a>
because that file (page) is in the same Directory as this file (page).
