5. USING LINKS
First, there needs to be another page to link to. T o make another page in your site, just select
the "Create a new page" icon in the upper left corner of the BlueGriffon window. (Or use Alt+f
then Alt+n to accomplish the same goal.) A new blank page will appear in a new tab. For now
just enter some new text in the page, select the "Save file to a local location" icon, give the
page a title, and save the page in the T utorial_Site directory. T hese are the same steps that
were used to save the first page. T his time when it comes time to name the HT ML file, you
need to name it something other than index.html, as filenames must be unique within a
directory. Remember to avoid spaces in the file name. In the example, the file for the second
page is called second_page.html (Note the underscore).
Note that the first page is still displayed in its own tab. Select the tab for the first page, edit
it to add and then select some text that will serve as a link to the second page. (T ext is
selected by clicking and dragging the mouse, in much the same way you would in a word
processor.) Links can be associated with words, sentences, paragraphs, individual letters or
even spaces. T his example will just use one word as a link. Highlight (select) the word that will
contain the link, then click on the "Insert or edit a link" icon near the top center of the
BlueGriffon window. (If you prefer keyboard shortcuts, you have probably already discovered
Alt+i followed by Alt+l. T o reduce the irritation of those who prefer to use their pointing
device, we will not include more parenthetical clues such as this one.)
