How to write links in code

This is a very simplified description of how to write a link in HTML, and is aimed at non-technical bloggers.

I have used simple descriptive words to aid comprehension, so any ordinary code technicians need not go any further!

Each code transaction has to be encased in its own special brackets = <>.


The ‘a’ designates this code as being a link. That’s why it has to be cancelled at the end of the code.


‘href=’ prompts the link code to get ready for the URL or web-address that follows.

There needs to be a space before it, so it doesn’t mask the ‘a’ link code.


Each URL needs to be encased in quotation marks, so the code can recognise it.


The URL needs to be written out in full. Note not all blogs contain www., as is their nature, but if the URL contains it, it should be included.


Remember, each code transaction has to be encased in its brackets, so don’t forget to add the closing >, even if you have to open it up again to cancel the link.


The ‘a’ needs to be cancelled at the end to deactivate the link, otherwise it will continue without stopping throughout the rest of the code.

Placing a ‘/’ in front cancels a code command.
