Making Links

You can also make links that can navigate you to a another page. To make a link to let say to "Google homepage" the URL is "http://www.google.com" so you would type:

<a href="http://www.google.com"> Your text here!</a>

The outcome is:

Your text here!

Email

You can also make a link so someone would be able to send you a email.

For example:

Lets say your email address is Yourname@yahoo.com

Than you would type:

<a href="Yourname@yahoo.com"> email</a>

Putting Graphics on your page

Having graphics on your page can make your page more apealing and there are several ways how you can do that. Once you have the URL (you can find it by right click and go into properties and locate the URL)

You would type it this way:

<img src="URL in Here"/>

For example outcome might be:

mail box

(Note: If the picture is saved on the hard drive of your computer, remember to upload it to the server for it to work properly.)

You can also add alternate text for images, it is a good practice to do so just in case the Browser will not display the image, you will have the text instead of the image. You can add Alternate text with the "ALT":

For example:

<img src="URL in Here" ALT="Text in Here"/>

You might want to have a image that is a link. All you do is combine the two commands together.For example:

<a href="Your link URL in Here"><img src="Your graphic URL in here"></a>
