  • Often I want to post a link in a blog. For example:
    http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443
  • But, what I really want is a link that people can click:
    http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443
  • To do this, I put

    • <a href="

  • before the link, and

    • ">

  • after the link.
    Then I type in whatever text I want to appear as a link:

    • http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443

  • followed by

    • </a>

  • So the whole thing becomes:

    • <a href="http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443">http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443</a>

  • which appears as:

    • http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443

  • If I just wanted the word link to appear as a link, I would type:

    • <a href="http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=285443">link</a>

  • which appears as:

    • link
