Creating an HTML Hyperlink: Part 2

Hi, I'm Dorian Winterfield on behalf of Expert Village. I have been doing web programming for about ten years. Today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. So we are going to add a hyperlink or a link on this page to another website. In this case I am going to add a link to Expert Village. This is how we are going to do it. I'm just going to go ahead and do it and then I am going to try and explain it. Now, the syntax or the structure for a link tag is like this. We will open it with our opening bracket, A. A stands for anchor, but don't worry about that. This is basically, how we do it. "A" a space "href" that stands for hyper reference or a link equals and then we are going to put an opening quote. Now what's going to go inside that quote? I will show you a trick. You go to any webpage on the internet, anywhere. In this case it is Expert Village; here is the address of that webpage also called the URL. Let's just call it the address to the webpage. I am going to highlight it. I am going to go to edit and copy. Hopefully this makes sense to you and you have done this before. If you haven't it is not hard. Now, it is copied onto my computer, I am going to go to edit and I'm going to say paste. And there you have it. Instead of having to type out this whole address, I have just copied it and pasted it from my web browser. So I showed you a little trick. Now I am going to close the quote. And remember I said every tag in HTML has to have a closing tag. So, in this case it is close A.
