In between business meetings, Muffin decided to look at the “Blog of a Beginning Coder”. He opened the main page, and he was unable to go from it to the other blog pages. He was so confused!

And it’s all because there are absolutely no links on the site! And until we fix this, the boss will not read the blog: he is too busy to open each page separately.

What is a link?

Usually a link looks like an underlined fragment of text. When you click on it, you go to another page, open an image, start downloading a file, or move to some place on the current page. If we imagine that the Internet is a huge network with many nodes, then the links are the threads connecting all of the nodes in this network together.

Links are created using a very short <a> tag (which is short for “anchor”). For example, it looks like this:

<a href="https://htmlacademy.org">HTML Academy</a>

The link address is specified in the URL format using the href attribute (which is short for “hyper reference”).

Let’s try to create a link in our blog and to click on it!
