So let's say you really like someone else's site and you want to include it into your site so that your visitors can visit it.

The form looks exactly the same as internal links, but the only difference is that you have to put the whole address, because its outside (or external) from your site.

In general form it looks like this:
< A HREF = "http://www.sitename.com>Link Text Shown</A>

So for example if you wanted to link my site from your site. It would look like this:

Which produces this lovely little link: HTML Amigo

You must always remember to inlcude the http:// in the address or else you will get an error. The TARGET property you learned in the internal links tutorial also applies here. But for those with lazy fingers I've recopied that section and placed it below:

The Target Attribute

      Has it ever happened to you that when you click a link a new window pops up - displaying the website in the new window while the original website is still visible? The TARGET attribute can be added in the < A> tag. It has three possible values:"

Try These: Download.com (TARGET = "_blank") || Download.com (TARGET = "_self")
