What’s a URL?
A URL is the location of a file on the web. This can be the location of a website, a page on a website, an image and more.

http://www.plusonegraphics.com/blog/ is the URL of this website.
http://plusonegraphics.com/blog/?p=1  is the URL for this page.
You’ll see this in the address bar.

How do I get the URL for a page I like on a website?
Go to the page and look at the address bar in Internet Explorer (or other web browser program), you will see the URL for that page.

http://plusonegraphics.com/images/new/fan-faded.jpg
is the URL of the above image.

How do I get the URL of an image?
Find an image on a website or use the one above, right click on the image and choose “Properties”. You will see a field named “Address: URL” or “location”
The text following it is the complete URL for the image.
You can copy that address and paste it in your address bar at the top of your browser.

Now you can create a link with the URL, here’s how.
I want an image to be a link .

You can add links to your site in a variety of ways. Make an image a link, make text a link, and the next step is making the link open in a new window.

by the way: the code below that is <br> will make the next link appear right below the first link (in the line below it).

1. To add a simple text link:

<a href=”http://www.yourlink.com”>your link text</a><br>

2. To add an image or button as a link: .
<a href=”http://www.plusonegraphics.com”><img src=”button.gif” border=”0″></a><br>

NOTE:  in the above example the border=”0″ tag will remove any border from your image

3. To add buttons, spacing them farther apart vertically on the page, add two <br>  tags
<a href=”http://www.plusonegraphics.com” target=”_blank”><img src=”button.gif” border=”0″></a><br><br>
