Okay, I've got the URL of a cool education web site from the '90s. What's next?

Creating a simple hyperlink You can use a hyperlink to connect to another web site. The simplest hyperlink is one in which you type the URL directly into the web page. To do this: 1. Insert the cursor into the text area in FrontPage Editor's Normal view. 2. Type in the URL. For example: www.actden.com 3. Press the Enter key. You will notice FrontPage has automatically converted the text into a hyperlink. 4. Check your new hyperlink by clicking the Preview tab and then clicking on the new hyperlink.

That was a snap! What about text, Blip? Can we turn words like phat, chill, and dude, into hyperlinks, too?

Sure we can. What are you planning to link to those words?

Our "Slang from the '90's" page.

Turning text into a hyperlink You can turn any text on a web page into a hyperlink. This type of link is called a "hypertext link". Here's how to turn a word into a hypertext link that leads your visitors to a page within your web site: 1. Click the Normal view tab in FrontPage Editor. 2. Go to the first page of your web site. (You'll see the title of this first page at the top of the flow chart in FrontPage Explorer's Navigation view.) 3. Type: "I have many interests and hobbies." 4. Select the word "interests" with your mouse and click on the Create or Edit Hyperlink button. This will open the Create Hyperlink dialog box. 5. Click the page or file name that you want to link to. For example: interest.htm The file name will appear in the URL box. 6. Click OK in the Create Hyperlink dialog box. 7. Click the Preview tab, then click on the hypertext link "interests" to check your new hyperlink.

Blip, we forgot to include a page about the music that kids liked. I hope it's not too late to make the page and link to it.

Mars! I can't believe we forgot to include The Backstreet Boys and Jewel in our site. We'd better get on it...

Linking to a new page If you're creating hyperlinks and notice you've left out a page in your web site, you can add and link to a new page - all at the same time. To link to a new page: 1. Click the Normal tab in FrontPage Editor. 2. Insert the cursor into the text area in FrontPage Editor's Normal view and type: "This is my latest web page." 3. Select the word "latest" using the mouse and click on the Create or Edit Hyperlink button. This will open the Create Hyperlink dialog box. 4. Click the New Page button. The New dialog box will appear. 5. Choose Normal from the list of page styles and click OK in the New dialog box. 6. Be sure to save your new page. Type a short, descriptive file name into the URL box and click OK in the Save As dialog box.
