How to make text as a hyperlink

    Please navigate to very bottom of this page and see the code running it. Those are supposed to be active text hyperlinks....but for some reason, they are basic dead text. Anyway to remedy this?

    you must wrap them with the code to make them a link. it would be:

    <a href="yourlink.html">The Text Name of the Link</a>

    Thank you. So to clarify....instead of this:
    <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#FFFFFF><a href="http://www.ezsoutherncooking.com/">Southern Cooking</a></font>
    I would replace it with this:
    <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#FFFFFF a href="http://www.ezsoutherncooking.com/">Southern Cooking</a></font>

    Or?

    Much appreciated....

    Well, I guess you have already fixed it but are you sure you want to keep that color? First option that you gave will work.

    Your code is wrong, it's actually
    <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="http://www.ezsoutherncooking.com/">Southern Cooking</a></font>
    Code (markup):

    Slincon gave you the correct code, you must have a separate <a href> and font tag

    Much appreciated on this. I prefer that yellow text for some reason....and before I tweak further, if that set of links is working then is it absolutely, positively, beyond any shadow of a doubt, necessary to change the HTML further? If so, explain the benefits. Very cuious. I really do appreciate this previous input.
