html is basically a tag <tag> ending with an ending tag </tag>

*Substitute the *'s with <

So heres the html tag for links: *a href=""> */a>

So lets pretend the link is www.myspace.com. the html code would read:

*a href="www.myspace.com">Title of link.*/a>

Now if you substitute the *'s with <'s, you get: <a href="www.myspace.com">Title of link.</a>

The space between the tags allows you to name the link. So, if you exchange "Title of link." with "myspace", you get:

<a href="www.myspace.com">myspace</a>

Good luck!

thank y'all very much it worked just as described. but what is the "href" thing does that stand for something. and how do you change the color on posts. if im typing something what do i put around it to change the color. now im just playing around trying to further understand html code. thank you.

href, if i remember right, stands for "hypertext referene". Could be wrong, don't remember my intro HTML class aoll that well.

to change the font color, you need code such as:

<font color="blue"> Text to become blue </font> 

you can replace blue with a vareity of other prenamed colors (green, red, black, white, orange, etc) and HEX CODE colors. Google HEX CODES for a listing of HEX CODE color stuff.
