So now you know how to link to another webpage! but how do you link to other content such as pictures or files?

For Files

Its extremely simple!

Say I wanted to link to a file on file.com called file.exe.

The download link for the file is http://file.com/file.exe

SO all I would need to do is put that link in the "" of the hyperlink code like so :

<a href="http://file.com/file.exe> Download this file </a>

How about images?

Well file.com also has a picture that i want my users to be able to see, so i get the link again, this time the link is:

http://file.com/pic.gif

SO  once again all I need to do is insert that URL into a link, and upon clicking that link a user will be taken to a page with the picture on it!

the code for this one would be:

<a href="http://file.com/pic.gif> View this picture! </a>

In Summary

It took me about an hour to get to grips with this the first time I did it so read over it a few times, and get to know the code, in the next tutorial i will be talking about images and what can be done with them.
