Tips & Warnings
Links look different from other text on the Web page. Most often, the link will be a different color and underlined. Link colors are set by the browser. You can specify custom link colors with Cascading Style Sheets, an extension to basic HTML, but style sheets are not yet supported on all browsers.
Links to pages you have visited already will be a different color from other links, but still underlined.
Always check your link before and after you upload your page.
