How to Use HTML Tags for Links

Every inch of text on your screen in front of you is created using HTML coding, this coding is used for creating links to other pages. I will show you how easily this is done.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• PC
• HTML editor (works best)

1. When you build a website you will link to other pages relevant to your page. In the picture at the side there is a picture of connected web pages each represented by a color dot. I see it as pretty art, myself!
2. In order for a website to correctly function it must be easily navigated. Which means there should be links on every page that will follow the process of your browsing, from entry to exit. I have always drawn out a map of the entire website on a piece of paper, just to get an idea of the linking structure needed. A website is an evolving beast that will morph over time.
3. Basic HTML tags Making links to other pages is simply accomplished by highlighting text and selecting a URL destination (which is usually pasted into a box). I will also give links to online tutorials which will show you how to make the links using a text editor. Currently we are unable to show HTML code in the Ehow pages.

Tips & Warnings

• Using an HTML editor will save a lot of time
• Have a list of the linking URL's handy so you can cut and paste as needed
