Any image can be a hyperlink to another webpage or another website alltogether. This will allow your website’s visitors to click on an image and go to a different webpage automatically. We will start using the same code as we did in the previous tutorial and build on it in this example:<\/p>\n

<img src=”Images\/image.jpg” align=”middle” width=”250″ height=”320″ \/><\/p>\n

Now we will make it a link.  The basic tag to make something an active hyperlink is <a href=”___”><\/strong>object\/text to be linked<\/a><\/strong>.  This looks very foreign to new website designers, since href is not a “word” that most people have seen before, but it is used whenever you want to create a link on your website.  As with other tags, make sure that you close the <a href> tag with the <\/a> at the end or the hyperlink will never end.  For images, you will simply put the hyperlink tag before and after your image code:<\/p>\n

<a href=”morepictures.html”><img src=”Images\/image.jpg” align=”middle” width=”250″ height=”320″ \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The link above will make the image (image.jpg) a hyperlink to the page morepictures.html on your website.<\/p>\n
