Linking within your pages, and to other pages on the web.

    Linking is easy.  All you need to know is what type of link you want, and where you want the link to go.  The first type of link will let you jump from a spot on a document to another spot on the same document... 

Targets:
    First, go to where you want the link to end up, after you click on the word.  For example:  You type in a word that you want to be clickable (the word that will "take you there" when clicked on.):

here

Now, somewhere else in the document (farther down the page) you have to insert a "target" with the following tags:

<A NAME="there">there</a>
(make up your own words to go where the "theres" are.)

Now, around the original "here" word, you need to put anchor tags:

<A HREF="#there">here</a>

Now, you should have a "clickable" word (here) that takes you to the other word (there).
The following code:

<A HREF="#there">here</A>
<A NAME="there"></A>

Should give you:


here
there

Linking to other sites on the web:
    First, you need to know where you are going to link to, and the url of the site.  Say you wanted to link to Yahoo! search engine, the code would be:

<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo!</A>

You would then get:

Yahoo!

note:  You must include the http://www. when linking to other web sites.
