Adding Links

Add anchor tags to a paragraph, like this: 

<p>
Let's create a web page with lots of information and links. Let's start with a link to <a href="http://www.psu.edu">Penn State</a>

and a link to a page in my directory talking about <a href="myproject.htm">my project</a>

and <a href="myproposal.htm">my proposal</a>.
</p> 

What does this do?

The <a> tag tells the browser that you're creating a link. The href attribute stands
for Hypertext Reference--the technical name for a link. Whatever follows href= in quotes is the actual
name or URL of the item to which you want to link.  In this case, we're assuming that you're linking to one page that is located outside the immediate file, the Penn State link. The other pages (myproject and myproposal) that reside in the same Web server directory as your original index.html page. If you have multiple directories, you would just name the appropriate directory before the file name.

For example, if the myproject.htm page lived in a directory called main, you would link to it like this:

<a href="main/myproject.htm"> or <a href="..main/myproject.htm">
