Concept: Linking to other URL's on the Internet

Explanation:

• Now that you understand the concepts, this part is easy.
• You just put the URL you want to link to in the quote marks after <HREF="http://www.yadayada.com.yada.htm">
• and then you put what you want to be clicked on between that and a closing tag </A>
• By the way, it doesn't matter if the tags are upper or lower case.
• Also, the browser will not put more than one space in a given place in your document no matter how many there are in your source file.

What's coming: You've got the basics down at this point. We'll just look now at a couple of other formatting tags you might want to use. We'll start with increasing and decreasing font size.

• 1. The basic structure tags
• 2. Putting your document title in the blue bar of the browser
• 3. Formatting text: getting the browser to display text in paragraph form
• 4. Formatting text: breaking the text into lines with line breaks
• 5. Formatting text: bold and italics
• 6. Inserting images
• 7. Linking to other html files in a web project
• 8. Linking to other URLs on the Internet <-- You are here!
• 9. More text formatting: changing font size
• 10. More formatting: centering text and images, and drawing lines across the page
