Hello, my name is Josiah Rea, and today I'm going to show you how to display a Hyperlink and what this basically means is there's a lot of times when you go to a website they will have a link that just says click here or something like that and you're not really sure where that's going to take you so this is a way to see for yourself before you click on the link and possibly go someplace you don't want to go. So this is my portfolio website here and on the side I've got a couple of image links to YouTube, Flickr and LinkedIn and if you watch the lower left portion of the browser as you hover over a link it will actually display the URL that it's taking you to right down there. If it doesn't do that for some reason, you can also right click on the link, go down to copy link address and then come over here to Notepad or something and just right click and say paste and that will paste the hyperlink right into Notepad so you can very clearly say exactly where that link is taking you. I hope you've enjoyed this video on how to display hyperlinks. Have a good day.
