Notes:
HTML 101
making a link:
HTML < a> tag
Definition and Usage

The < a> tag defines an anchor. An anchor can be used in two ways:

1. To create a link to another document by using the href attribute
2. To create a bookmark inside a document, by using the name or id attribute
______
use the < > to encompass the a tag (a stands for anchor)
so... to create a link, use <> then put the text you want to use as the link, but don't forget to end the tag with < /a>

Say I wanted to link to marwen.org with the word Marwen,
the syntax would look like this:
< a href="http://marwen.org">Marwen< /a>
and the link would look like this:
Marwen

*please note that in order to show the code above, i had to put a space between the < and the "a" in the opening tag and a space between the < and the /a in the closing tag in order to show it as human readable text above. If you want more information on the anchor tag, click here
