External Links
The tag used to link web pages to other pages in a website or to other pages on the World Wide Web is the <a> tag.  The open <a> and closing </a> tags surround the text you want to hyperlink. The <a> tag requires an accompanying href attribute. Note that the attribute href has the URL (web page address) to go to when the user clicks on this link. This is how you would link to the Paul VI website from the words Paul VI Catholic High School in your first webpage file.

I am a student at <a href="http://www.paulvi.net">Paul VI Catholic High School</a> 

Now open your first webpage HTML file in Notepad and add this tag to link to the Paul VI Catholic High School home page. When you are finished entering your tags replace your original HTML file by selecting File and then selecting Save. Close your Notepad file and navigate to your HTML file folder on your Google Drive. Select first webpage to preview what your file will look like in a web browser. Your file should look like this. The words Paul VI Catholic High School should be in a different color and underlined.

If your changes don't appear in the browser window, select the Refresh button. Test your link. If your link doesn't work, return to Notepad, select the file and make the necessary corrections.
