Using Links

With links being such a basic and historical part of the Internet, they also have a very simple tag; <a>...</a>. Any text between a hyperlink element’s tags will display as “hypertext”. Traditionally, this has been blue, underlined text, visually signifying to the user that the text is a link.

In order to link to another document, the author must include a hyper-reference attribute within the opening tag. This attribute is signified with href="".

HTML
<a href="URL">link text</a>

NOTE: Link text should be specific about where the user will be going if they click a link. This means that links should not be simple text such as “Click Me!” Instead, good style would dictate that the link text be a description of the site, name, or information that informs the user.
