Adding Hyperlinks

Put your cursor between your two hyperlink tags. We're going to make our first hyperlink out of text, so we're simply going to beginning typing the words we would like to be our link. I typed: click here. You can type whatever you'd like.

When you look at the link you've made, you will find that the words you used for your link will be blue and underlined. Once you click on the link, it will turn to purple. Those are the default settings for hyperlinks. Yes, they can be changed. You CAN make your link any color you'd like, but for now...
Save, refresh and test your link.
