HTML Tip: Making Links
Making Links
So, you want to make a link to another page. Whether it is your own, another's page at iVillage or a site anywhere on the world wide web, you can do this simply and surely.
  All links are based off of this command: <A HREF="URL">URL's Title</A> where URL is the Uniform Resource Locator (or web address!) for the page you want to link to! Here are some examples.
Linking your own pages
Use just the filename (e.g. "virginia.html") in the command (e.g. <A HREF="virginia.html">Virginia Woolf</A> to make a link in the Advanced Editor (you can just type in virgina.html in the Link box in Basic Editor)
Another iVillage Website
Want to link to your best friend's super site? Just type in the complete URL for her site, i.e. <A HREF="http://pages.ivillage.com/smiely/index.html">Smiely's Site</A>
Anywhere on the World Wide Web
The method works for ANY site on the world wide web. . . whether your own pages or another iVillage site OR wherever!
<A HREF="http://www.ivillage.com">iVillage: My Online Home</a> When using this method in advanced, make SURE to properly enter the A HREF and the http:// part of the commands and enclose the filename in quotation marks. In WebSite Builder, just enter the URL http://www.ivillage.com without the rest of the HTML commands.
