Now we're getting somewhere. So far you've learned how to begin your page and manipulate text. But these aren't much use without being able to link to other pages or put in images.

Links
Let's start with links. All links have these features: <a href="Site Name.htm"> Text </a> where Site Name.htm is the name of the file to be linked to and Text is what the browser will show underlined.
Local Links - Local links go to pages within the same directory. All you need to type is : <a href="index.htm">
Global Links - Global links go to pages outside of your current directory. These can include pages on your site, but in different directories. For these, you need the entire link such as : <a href="http://www.webcrawler.com">

Images
Images are put in with the <img> tag. Example:
<img src="Image Name" height=10 width=40 alt="Alternate Text "> where:

• Image Name is the name of the image in .gif or .jpg format. Currently these are the only image types supported.
• height=10 determines the height of the image.
• width=40 determines the width of the image.
  Note: These numbers can be anything. Using height and width attributes will make your page load faster and be more convenient for visitors. They are not necessary though. They also can be used to make smaller thumbnail images on main pages to keep load time down.
• Alternate text is text that will show if the image does not load because of mistakes on your part or if their images are turned off. This is not required either.
