Hyperlinks

A hyperlink is the link that goes from your current page to another page. You clicked on a hyperlink to get here.

If you are using an HTML editor you will easily be able to add hyperlinks by clicking a button and inserting the page URL. You can also highlight the word you want to use as your link and right click. Choose hyperlink and fill in the blank in the address box.

Not all HTML editors are created equal so you will have to read the help files on your editor to find out how to insert hyperlinks on your pages.

The basic code for a hyperlink looks like this:

<a href="hyperlinks.htm">hyperlinks</a>
This is to a page on my site, it is called a relative link because it does not use the entire address. The browser knows to look for this page on my website.

<a href="http://www.knowitallaffiliates.com/hyperlinks.htm">hyperlinks</a>
This would work from your site to mine, as an example. It is called an absolute link. The entire address has to be listed here so your browser can find this page on my site.

Both will show up on your page looking like this: hyperlinks

The <a href= is the opening tag. Everything in the " " is the address to the link. Close this tag with >
Everything between the end > of the opening tag and the closing tag </a> will be a clickable link.
The closing tag is, of course, the </a>

You could put an entire sentence or a whole page in these brackets and it would all be clickable to the same address. Don't put too much in these brackets. Remember, your visitors will expect things to be the same on your website as they have encountered on other websites. One word or a couple words is all you want to make clickable.
