How do I Link to other pages on my site?

There are many ways to link to other pages on your site -

I personally prefer the Site Map since it gives my visitors a chance to get an overview of my site. As well as giving them a easy navigational system, it also allows me to add, change or delete pages without them affecting the rest of my site. The first web site I put up had all my links on every page. It only took one change before I realized all the work I had to do. I had to change every page on my site because all the links were on all my pages. After that, I started finding easier ways to organize my site as well as to ensure that changing,adding or deleting a page would not effect every page on my site.

When you link to other pages on your own site, it is not necessary to put in the full url. Since all your pages will be uploaded to a server together, just the page name will do.

Using Site Maps To Link Your Site


This is my method of choice that I use on a site.  It not only links every page of your site, but allows your visitors an overview of your site and if you need to change, add or delete a page...you just change the one page.

To View the Actual Site Map and How I code them, please visit the Site Map Here.

How do I link to other Sites?

Linking to other sites is easy. You can link using two methods - text links or graphic links. Since text links do not overload a page with graphics, it is the best method of linking to other sites.
Make sure you use the full url to the site because it is not on your server and therefore will need the full url to find the page.

The coding you need to link to another site is :
<A HREF="http//www.ladycaresrealm.com">Lady Care's Realm on the Web</A>

The Result
Lady Care's Realm on the Web


Graphic Links

The Coding:

<A HREF="http://www.ladycaredesigns.com"><IMG SRC="divahelplclogo.jpg" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=60 WIDTH=230></A>

How to I make a link to my Email Address?

Since emailing can be very important, as a means of either a mail form or a specific request you have on your site, you will need to know how to make a email link to email you.

Again there are two ways...either a text link or a graphic link


Text Link Code:

Graphic Link Code:

Text Link Code:
<A HREF="mailto:[email protected]?SUBJECT=BROKEN LINKS">Email Me About Broken Links</A>
