Describe Your Links

This tip will only work with java enabled browsers...
To add a little spice to your links, look at this:
Look at a normal link: (click on it)
google
The link was made with this code:
<a href="http://www.google.com">google</a>
Let's add this after the url:
OnMouseOver = "window.status='click here to go to google'; return true;"
And the code becomes this:
<a href="http://www.google.com" OnMouseOver = "window.status='click here to go to google'; return true;">google</a>
And the link becomes this:
google
Move your mouse to the link and look at the bottom of your web browser.
Wow. It says "click here to go to google" * What a nice html tip!
Modify the html code to your needs and you'll get a nice spiced up web page!

* Note from Geoffrey: If you don't have a bar at the bottom of your screen in Internet Explorer, go to the View menu and click on Status Bar. A bar will show up at the bottom of the screen displaying where a link will go (or, in this case, what its name is).
