How to Make Text Linkable in HTML
The heart and soul of Web design is links. Without links, a website would not be navigable, nor would a surfer find your site from external sources. When creating links, you probably don't want to display a meaningless URL. Instead, you want to use descriptive text, which is clickable to another page or website. This is accomplished through the use of hyper-text markup language, or HTML.
