#html links

Here was my code, both links redirecting to error 404 pages.

Two things were wrong.

1. the / before the https:  I had followed an advice for coding found on tumblr help saying I had to add this (an email from tumblr team told me to take it out - make up your mind...). It needs out.

2. You can’t see it, but the brackets are wrong. They’re a twirly double apostrophes, not two little straight lines. (must have happened from copy-pasting links around in Word and back, I can’t tell)

I copied my links from a document where I keep this stuff and then, right in the Description box, redid the same thing (shift+2) to write brackets, except when typed in the Description box, they’re the right ones. Go figure.

So now my coding is correct.

-To add a (text) link:

       <a href=“https://link.org/”>Link shown here</a>

-href attribute is href=“link.com”

-How to open a link in a new window:

     <a href=“link.com” target=“_blank”>Link title</a>

     (If files are stored in the same folder in the ROOT DIRECTORY, then you can link web pages together using a relative path (internal link with a file name that shows the path to a local file on the same website), which looks like this:

    <a href=“./link.html”>Link</a>

-To create an image link:

     a href=“https://link.com”> target=“_blank”><img src=“https://img.png” alt=“describe image”></a>

(so what you’re doing when you add an image link is essentially just putting <a> and </a> on the ends of an image element)

-How to make it so clicking on a link will automatically scroll to a specific section on the same page:
