Beginners Links

By: Coty Skaj



So you want to learn how linking pages with HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) works, well you have come to the right place.



When inserting a hyper link into your webpage you need to first remember that all hyper links start with the <a> start tag and the </a> end tag.

You insert the location of the hyper link within the start tag.



Example:

**Note - The location of the url is color coded in red.

<a href="http://www.smartboydesign.com/">Smart Boy Design</a>

When inserting a hyper link you may not want the link to change the page that the user is on. If you want the link to open in a new window then you would simply add this code.



target="_blank"



When put in the hyper link element it would look like this:

<a href="http://www.smartboydesigns.com/" target="_blank">Smart Boy Designs</a>



If you would rather have the link as a picture then you could enter an image code instead of typing "Smart Boy Designs" by using this code:

<a href="http://www.smartboydesigns.com/" target="_blank"><img src="URL OF IMAGE"></a>
