If you
have created a Melonbones Feature Page for your auction items
and would like to link to it, or you have a web site you would
like to link to from your item descriptions, you need a "live
link" to the URL for your visitor to click on.
URL stands
for Uniform Resource Locator. This is kind of like the mailing
address to your house, and it starts with http://www. Here's
the URL to this page:
http://www.melonbones.com/html101/HTML-101-04.html
As it
is, it is not a "live link". To make it clickable
you should write it using these reference tags:
<A
HREF=URL
GOES HERE>TEXT GOES HERE</A>
The URL
goes between the equal sign and the diamond operator and the
text you want to display goes between the open reference and
close reference tags. The text can be the the name of the page
or simply the words "click here." Be sure to leave
a space between the "A" and the "HREF=" or
it will not work.
If you
would like to "force" your text link to a different
size or font than the rest of the line, you can use the font
tags from previous lessons. Just nest them inside the reference
tags like this:
<A
HREF=URL
GOES HERE><font
face=times new roman size=+2>TEXT GOES HERE</font></A>
You can
center your text link by adding the center tags:
<center><A
HREF=URL
GOES HERE><font
face=times new roman size=+2>TEXT GOES HERE</font></A></center>
Always
be careful to use spaces in the proper places, and let the line
wrap naturally - NEVER use the enter key to force it to wrap
to the next line or you will "break" it.
