Most users like to add links to their web pages that take the
visitor to a page that the creator thinks is useful or interesting. In
order to finish your web page assignment, you will need to substitute 3 or
more of your own links for the links that came with your web page when you
copied it from Rocko, and you need to delete all the other links that
came with your "generic" web page.
1. Find some pages that you want to use as your links.
2. Log onto Rocko & get into your public_html directory by typing:
cd public_html
2. Get into the Pico editor to edit your index.html by typing the following:
pico index.html
3. Move your cusor down 16-17 lines where you see the line containing:
HTML Developers ReferencePage
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
a. The beginning marker for the link is
(a href =
Note that I substituted a ( for a < since I did not want to start a
link. You must use a <.
b. The address (URL) of the web page that visitors can access by
clicking on Developers ReferencePage is in quotes:
"oneworld.wa.com/htmldev/devpage/dev-page/html#doc-a"
This previous line is a link that came with your generic web page.
c. The title visitors click on comes after the link which is in
quotes & after >:
HTML Developers ReferencePage
d. The title visitors click on is followed by the following marker:
(/a>
Note that I substituted a ( for a < since I did not want to start a
link. You must use a <.
4. Delete the address (URL) that came with your web page & type in the
address of the web page you want to use as a link.
5. Delete the title of the link and type in your own title.
6. Delete any remaining links that came with your web page after you make
sure that your links are working.
7. that your web address is:
http://rocko.csuchico.edu/~yourloginname)
