HTML: The Anchor Tag and the Href Attribute


HTML Links

Correct usage of the A HREF tag when blogging:


  1. Use the "Edit HTML" tab in blogger to Edit HTML (important to correct issues with links!)
  2. Usage: <a href="URL String" target="_blank">Text to display</a>
  3. The URL string takes the form of http://www.w3schools.com
  4. Target="_blank" will open the link in a new brower window instead of overlaying the new URL page over one's blog. Note the underscore ("_") before the word blank!
  5. It is very important to test the link and correct if it does not work appropriately. The link should open the appropriate page in a new browser window!
