Creating your Link

  1. Find the URL of the page in your website you want to link to. It will start with “http://”. For example if we wanted to link to this page the URL would be: http://www.websitesfromaustralia.com/html-links/
  2. Decide the text you want to appear in the link. This should be brief and describe what the page is about. For example for this page we would use: Help creating an HTML link
  3. Substitute the URL and text into this format:
    <a href=”URLHERE”>TEXTHERE</a>
    e.g. <a href=”http://www.websitesfromaustralia.com/html-links/”>Help creating an HTML link</a>
