In this tutorial I will show you how to make a word link to a website. In other words, I will show how to make a text link using HTML.
How to make a text link
- In the HTML or source code of you website, insert this markup snippet:
Javascript | copy code | ? 1 <a href="http://eyecare.com" target="_blank" Alt="a link about eye care" title="eye care information">eyecare101</a>
This is how the link appears to visitors: eyecare101
- You will have to change the url section of the markup "http://eyecare.com" to be the actual URL to the website you want to link to.
- You should also replace the 'title' tag description to display information about the site being linked to.
- You will also want to change the word 'eyecare101' to apply to the web page you're linking to.
More information about link HTML
Target="_blank" = This attribute setting forces a new tab to be create when a visitor clicks on a link. Alternatively you can use the target="_parent" which will cause the current web page to refresh and display the linked to content.
Title tag = Text contained within the title attribute is used to displayadditional information.
