A hyper text link is a clickable link that your visitors can click on to go to the next page. These can be used to direct users to pages within the web-site or to another website.
To create the link, you need to use HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). It's really not hard once you have a basic understanding of how it works, so here is the code you will need:
That is all the code you need to make a hyper link, and the only tricky part is where to put your link information within that code. But even that is self-explanatory once you understand what the code really means.
< > These are known as angle brackets, and all html coding has to be placed within these two brackets. So the first bracket (<) tells the browser that this is the beginning of html, and the last bracket (>) tells the browser it is the end of the html code.
The a stands for anchor, which basically tells the browser that it is a link. The href stands for Hypertext Reference. It tells the browser where the link is going to. The = sign is basically telling the browser that the link equals the URL within the quotation marks. The URL that you want your users to go to when they click on the link always goes within the quotation marks.
Then after the first closing bracket (>) and before the next opening bracket (<) is where you want to name your link for your users to see. The /a> symbol tells the browser that it is the end of the link command, followed by the last closing bracket.
This is what the code would look like with all the information added in the proper areas:
