[bearskin]

Don't give up too easily. Here's how I linked one of my poetry pages on my BLOG:

<a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~bobbynichols/More%20Poems%20tidy%20HTML.html"><font color="red"><EM>More of my Poems<br />......... a collection</font></a>

My BLOG is a very simple HTML mostly page, Bobby's Blog... "Process Poetic", though outdated and not up to date, contains many links (including Besttechie!!!). You can choose View Source by right clicking on almost any page to see the coding and pick up tips for just about anything once you train your eye (after learning a bit of HTML that is).

Good luck !!!

The address isn't properly formatted. It should be:

<a href=''http://www.firstpeople.us/''>first people</a>

sorry about the typing error jsbowen.

that's the way I typed it on the page...just like you did...I left out the// in this post.

I just typed it in a text box..does that matter?

It could. What text box are you referring to?

[bearskin]

well my page is supplied by Homestead.com.

I downloaded their page maker and it has several forms..like textbox, picture, stuff like that for us non teckies. you place these on the page and move them where you want them. suppose to be easy but it won't let me add html....or maybe it's just me...

[jsbowen]

I see. I haven't used the Homestead editor, but I don't think you are going to want to add a text box just to type in your html.

Here's an article from the Homestead site regarding the topic:
