Web Design For Idiots

One of the first bits of code I learned (and memorized) was the HTML to create a link. More than that, a link that I could anchor into the content as I wrote it. Rather than making the link obvious or having the HTML code itself stuck into the post I was writing, it just blends right in.  It’s a nice trick and very easy too.

This bit of code is great if you are linking to another site in a forum, blog comment or just want to add a quick link in an email. It’s easy, handy and looks tidy too.

Keep the code handy in a text file on your desktop so you can check it when it doesn’t work the way it should. Usually its just a missed space or something small like that.  For me, each time I master a new bit of code I feel I’m that much closer to actually knowing what I’m doing.
