Adding Navigation

Today we'll be adding navigation and two more pages to our html websites. Navigation is simply adding links to your pages so that users can get from one page of your site to another easily. It is important that navigation be clear (easy to see and click) and consistent (look the same on each page of the site).

The basic code for a hyperlink looks like this:

<a href="your_file.htm">LINK NAME</a>

You will replace 'page_name.htm' with the name of the page you are linking to. Whatever you put in the place of 'Link Name' will appear on your page as a hyperlink.

A few words about naming files:

1. use only lower case letters in a file name.
2. leave_no_spaces_in_a_file_name_use_underscores_instead

These are conventions (common practices) not laws, but good web designers follow them pretty closely.
