Links take you to another page. There are internal links, sometimes called local files, and external links. Internal links are files you create and keep on your own server. External links are links to other Web sites on the Internet.The link tag is <A HREF=""></A> The local filename or http address is inserted between the quotation marks. The linked text that appears on the screen is placed between the right and left arrows ><.
Internal Link
Let's say you create another page about your mission statement and name the file mission.html. On the front page you would create a link to go to that page by typing:<A HREF="mission.html">Mission Statement</A>

External Link
Most of the links on your front page will probably go to local files. However, to illustrate how to create an external link, assume you want your home page visitors to go to another Web site such as the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse. You would type the following:<A HREF="http://www.enc.org">Eisenhower National Clearinghouse</A>

Increasing the Text Size
The text will appear with an underline indicating it is a link to another page. Since the standard HTML text is small, add the <H3></H3> tag around the text to make it larger.
<H3><A HREF="http://www.enc.org">Eisenhower National Clearinghouse</A></H3>

E-mail Link
You should add a contact address so visitors to your site can make comments. Create a link to your e-mail address. You will need to know your own e-mail address. The following is simply an example.<A HREF="MAILTO:username@columbus.k12.oh.us">username@columbus.k12.oh.us</A>
