Links and Anchor Tags

Links are one of the most important parts of the web. They allow you to connect one page to another or send the user to a completely different website.

The tag we use for links is <a>. The “a” stands for anchor.

Step 1. Write your first link

First, write a simple <a> tag with some text inside it:

<a>This is a link</a>

Right now this does nothing. It just shows plain text, because the browser doesn’t know where the link should go.
