How to Use HTML Tags for Links

It's easy to create an html link! All you have to do is remember a simple formula.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Link
• Where you want to post the link
• Image (optional)

1. Make sure you have everything together; is the URL you want to link correct? Do you have somewhere to save your drafts, if necessary?

2. 
    

   For text links, follow the illustrated guide.

3. For a little more explanation: You'll use the anchor tags and the href attribute, as shown in Step 2. ="link here" is where you plug in your URL - make sure you keep the equal sign and the quotation marks around the URL. There is no limit to the length of the text you can display; you could link an entire paragraph, if you wanted to.

• eHow doesn't allow HTML in guides, so these will not work in your articles.
