How to Create & Style Links

For those of you just starting out with HTML or blogging, here are some basic HTML tricks.

Creating Links

Use the following code to create a basic link:
<a href="LINK GOES HERE"> Text Goes Here <a/>

Use the following code to create a link that opens in a new window:
<a href="LINK GOES HERE" target="_blank"> Text Goes Here <a/>

Use the following code to make an image a clickable link:
<a href="LINK GOES HERE"> <img src="IMAGE LINK GOES HERE"/> <a/>


Creating Styles for Links
You can create different styles for your links by adding style="styles here" to your link code. Here's an example:
<a href="LINK GOES HERE" style="font-color:white;"> <img src="IMAGE LINK GOES HERE"/> <a/>

Here are some different styles to use:
color:COLOR HERE; (to change color)
text-decoration:underline; (to underline link)
text-decoration:blink; (to make blinking link)
text-decoration:none; (to take away an unwanted underline)
font-style:italic; (to make link italic)
font-size:15px; (to change size)
font-family:tahoma; (to change font)
letter-spacing:1px; (to change space between each letter)
word-spacing:10px; (to change space between words)
word-spacing:10px; (to change space between words)

Those should get you started!
