    "Now we're going to create a text link for our site. And, for example, say you wanted your web site to link to another page, one example expertvillage.com. You go to the website, and go up there, into the url, and I'm just going to copy all that that says, right there. And then, go into my text files, and let's say under the logo, we're going to put a text link. And to start that, the code is an end bracket, a, space, href, equals, and then a quotation mark. And then, I'm just going to paste in that url that I grabbed from the browser. And, do another parenthesis and another end bracket. And then here, we're going to put the text that we want the actual link to be. Like, go to Expert Village. And then you want to close that off. And, links are, they won't work really, unless you want to make your whole page a link. You have to have that end bracket. So we'll do slash, a, href, and another angle bracket, hit save, go back to our main page, refresh it, now we have a link here in the middle of the page. You can see it's just color and underlined. That's all something we can change later, but if we click on this link, it takes us to that, Expert Village."
