Your Homepage	: Adding Links

Adding Links
In order to add links to Your Homepage there are three pieces of information you need:

An understanding of URLs (read "What is a URL?" in Uploading 1A)
The URL of the page you want to link to
The text that will serve as your link

The Anchor Tag:
This is what a basic link tag looks like in HTML:

<A HREF="_"> Text that will be underlined </A>

This is the same tag as displayed by a browser:

Text that will be underlined

This Tag Broken Down by Function:

<A HREF="_"> — Begins the link (NOTE: The _ is not part of the tag. It's used it here, as a placeholder)

Text that will be underlined — This text will serve as your link and will be displayed underlined on the page.

</A> ends the link

NOW ... An Actual Link
Following is an example of a functioning link, what it looks like in HTML, and how it is displayed by a browser. Try copying the HTML into Your Homepage and create a link to your favorite Internet service provider!

In HTML:

<A HREF="http://www.psnw.com">psnw.com </A>

On the page:

psnw.com

The Link Broken Down by Function:
<A HREF="">

This portion of the link tag tells the browser that the text following it should be displayed, and function, as a link.

http://www.psnw.com

This is the URL of the Web page you are linking to. It MUST be inside quotation marks.

psnw.com

This is the text we have chosen to serve as the link.

</A>

Closes the tag. Remember to close the tag; otherwise, the remainder of your page will be represented as one giant link!
