How To Create Your Links For Quick Navigation
You will need to create
links on your website, which will allow your visitors to navigate easily to all
your web pages. I have put together various methods of linking to your
other web pages and to other websites. First, let me explain the link command.
Explanation Of A Link Command:
<a (the anchor tag - starts the link; carat in front)
href= (Hypertext Reference - tells browser where link is going)
"http://www.sitename.com"
(the full address of the link)
Note: the full address is enclosed in quotes with the equal sign
in front of it.
Type the text that will show on your page and what you want
your visitors to click on
/a> (ends the link; carats at end)...See examples below.
Internal Links
Using internal links let
your visitors go from one page on your website to another page within your website.
If you have placed navigation buttons on your site (ex: first three buttons in
your navigation list), the code would look like this for each of your buttons:
<a href="http://yoursitename/index.html">Home</a>
<a href="http://yoursitename/hobbies.html">
Hobbies</a>
<a href="http://yoursitename/pictures.html">Pictures</a>
1. Create content for your first page and give it a filename (“index.html”)
2. Create content for a second page and give it a filename (“hobbies.html”)
Now, place a link on your first page “index.html” to go to your second page “hobbies.html”.
The code looks like this: <a href="hobbies.html">Click Here For My Hobbies</a>
Use this format for all your other pages within your website.
External Links
Using external links let
your visitors go to a different website. Note: You must use
the full web address "URL". The code will look like this:
<a href="http://www.differentsite.com">Click Here For Different Site</a>
The link to the other site looks like this on your web page: Click Here For Different Site
Target Attribute
If you do not want
your visitors to leave your site, use the "target" attribute in your link. It
will make your visitors come back to your web page after they have clicked on
a link to view a different site. The other website will open up in a different
window. The code looks like the following:
<a href="http://anothersite.com" target="_blank">Another Site</a>
Page Jumps
Using page jumps
allow your visitors to go from the bottom of your page back to the top of the same page in one
click. Use this link when your web page topic is lengthy...your
visitors will not have to use the scroll bar to go back to the top of your page.
In your editor,within the<body>..…</body> tags, put both links as follows:
* At the top of your page, "after" the <body> tag,put: <a name="top"></a>
* Then, at the bottom of your page after your last text
entry, and "before" the</body> tag, put: <a href="#top">
Back To Top</a>
Contacting You By Email
Using this link will allow your
visitors to email you. The code looks like the following:
<a href="mailto:yourself@yoursite.com">Email Me</a>
These are the basic links that you will use. After you have created all
your navigational links, think about web add-ons. Read the next topic "Hit
Counters-Guestbooks".
