How to create a LINK (and Bonus: Open link in a New Tab)
The email request I receive most often: How Do I Create a Link
The link tag starts like this <a href=“ ” >
The ‘a href’ tells the browser “Hey Browser, when a visitor clicks the text at the end, you‘re going to send them to the address between the quotation marks”
The link tag ends with one of these </a> That is a closing tag.
Some tags have closing tags others are self closing, this one has to be closed – and there is a reason for that.
You need to type something in the middle so people have something to click.
An empty link tag looks like this <a href=“ ” > </a>
<a href=“ the link you want to send the person ” > what the person will click </a>
When you’re done it will look something like this
<a href=“https://stuckathomemom.com/ ”> Stuck At Home Mom.com</a>
BUT! You don’t want the visitor to actually leave your site? That’s not a problem.
This: target=“_blank” can be added to the link tag so when a visitor clicks on the link a new browser tab is opened.
Example: <a href=“https://stuckathomemom.com/” target=“_blank” > Stuck At Home Mom.com</a>
Go ahead, try it: Stuck At Home Mom.com
Hey! I know this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established website
like yours take a massive amount work? I am brand new to running a
blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis.
I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
I’m not positive where you’re getting your information, however good topic. I needs to spend a while learning much more or understanding more. Thank you for excellent information I used to be looking for this info for my mission.
