Good job! Creating links with the anchor element is a fundamental web development skill.

The diagram to the right illustrates the different parts of the anchor element syntax. In the diagram, notice the following:

  2. The URL must be enclosed with quotation marks.

  3. Text between the <a> and </a> tags can be as few or as many words as you would like.
