\"Image<\/a>Last post on The Edublogger introduced HTML basics and showed readers how to use HTML to add their photo to their blog side bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Kate Olsen<\/a> highlighted, if you use your photo for your blog avatar, a simple alternative is to add the Avatar Widget to your side bar (learn more about Widgets<\/a> here!). However with Larry’s “blog makeover<\/a>” I wanted to add words above and below his sidebar photo which is why I used HTML<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this post, we will look at how you can create hyperlinks using HTML (Learn about HTML Basics <\/a>here!)<\/p>\n

What Is A Hyperlink?<\/h3>\n

A hyperlink (commonly called links), on a web page, can be an icon, graphic, or word\/sentence that, when clicked with the mouse, takes the user to another location on the web site or to another web site.<\/p>\n

People will often use HTML to create hyperlinks to helpful web sites when writing comments on other people’s posts.<\/p>\n

Here the HTML you use to create hyperlinks:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<a href=”https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/”>Welcome to the Edublogger<\/a> produces<\/span><\/strong> Welcome to the Edublogger<\/a><\/p>\n

\"link.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is how I created the Links in Read This Info on Larry’s Blog<\/h3>\n

I used HTML code for hyperlinks to create a text widget that linked to pages on Larry’s blog<\/a> which allowed me to reduce the number of pages at the top of his blog (refer to Tips for Blog Makeovers<\/a> for the reasons why).<\/p>\n

Each hyperlink was separated with bullet points using HMTL tags <\/strong><ul> and <li><\/p>\n

<ul>
\n<li>potatoes<\/li>
\n<li>spinach<\/li>
\n<li>lollipops<\/li>
\n<\/ul><\/p>\n
