First open a new notepad document and enter all the proper tags and then in the body of your page, then type <a href="http;//www.signindustry.com">Sign Industry</a>. Then save and load your page. Next we will add an image to your page and put a hyperlink on it.

Type this line in your body <a href=http://www.signindustry.com"><img src="/circle.gif"></a>. Now lets add a few more links follow the example below. Now save your page and reload your browser. Did you see the border around your image well to remove it just type this after your image tag border=0 then close the tag. <html> <head> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.signindustry.com">Sign Industry</a> <p> <a href="http://www.signindustry.com"><img src="/circle.gif"> <p> <a href="http://www.retailsignshops.com">Retail Sign Shops</a> <p> <a href="http://www.webworks.com">Web Workx</a> <p> <a href="http://www.signindustry.com"><img src="/circle.gif" border=0></a> <p> </body> </html> Fantastic you're really coming along great.
