The HTML code for Links to web pages has the form:

<a href=URL>Text to be linked</a>

Where URL is the web address of the web page. (You can also link picture addresses) So say I want to link to the main page of Appy's Chats which has the address http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ and I want to link it to the words "Appy's Chat". Then I would do the following code:

<a href=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/>Appy's Chats</a>

And with that code I would get:

Appy's Chat

However, you DO NOT want to post links like this in a chat room! If a person clicks on the link, they are ejected from the room and not only that, they have to view the page from the bottom frame of the chat window. This is not desirable at all! So to post links in chat rooms, you need to do it so the link opens up a second browser. That way the person can stay in chat and go back and forth between browsers at their convenience. To do this you add to the link form:

<a href=URL TARGET=NEW>Text to be linked</a>

So in the above example the code would be:

<a href=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ TARGET=NEW>Appy's Chats</a>

This will give me the following (Click on it and you will see it opens a new browser):

Appy's Chats

You can also put a link on a picture by the same method:

<a href=URL TARGET=NEW><img src=URL></a>

So to link Appy's Chats to the Appy's Chats Logo picture, I would use the following code:

<a href=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ TARGET=NEW>
<img src=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/logo2.jpg></a>

And I would get this:

Now you may not want the pic to show as a link and get rid of the border around the picture. To do this you add to the code of the picture BORDER=0:

<a href=URL TARGET=NEW><img src=URL BORDER=0></a>

So you would have the code:

<a href=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/ TARGET=NEW>
<img src=http://www.alink.com/personal/appy/logo2.jpg BORDER=0></a>

Which will give you (Check with your mouse, the link is still there):

You can also put your email addy up as a link. To do this use the form:

<a href=mailto:emailaddy>Text to be linked</a>

As an example, I will use my e-mail address and name. The code is:

<a href=mailto:aeratus@hotmail.com>Appy</a>

Which will give me the following:

Appy
