If you have a blog, you might want to make an index so that your readers can easily link to other articles. HTML is an internet code that helps you format your writing by using a tag. Here is how you can use a HTML tag to make an index in your blog.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Add a page to your blog for your index. Decide at this point how you would like your articles organized. You might want to list them alphabetically. You might want to list them by date or subject. Once you know how you would like to organize your articles, you can begin making your index.

  2. Step 2

    Name each article using the reference tag Article 1 .

  3. Step 3

    Go back to your index and make a link to get to that article. The only difference between this tag and the one you just made is a # sign. Here's how your finished HTML will look: Click Here to Go to Article 1 .

  4. Step 4

    Do this for every article until your index is complete.

Tips & Warnings
  • In your reference tag, you do not need to use the same name as your article title. The shorter these names are, the less likely you will mistype one and create a broken link.
  • Your HTML code does not need to be in uppercase letters, but it does need to have the correct punctuation! Make sure your article title is always in quotes. Remember that there should be a space between the A and HREF, but there should be no spaces between punctuation and symbols.
  • Remember to use a closing tag, , at the end of each title and link. You can only make a link if you have a closing tag for each opening tag.
