lecture three

links

Links turn your isolated web pages into a web site; and they enable your web site to link with others and therefore integrate your words with the World Wide Web. They are the one aspect of web design that is unique to the WWW as a communications medium. Bad links, and/or bad site structure, can ruin an otherwise good site for the reader. Here you will learn how to exploit the various types of link to best effect.
