19. Attaching files
Now your file is attached to your website, but it is not
published yet.
We are going to use hyperlinks for publishing our files.
This is the information you need when creating hyperlinks.
20. Any graphic or text that you can click
on to be taken to another page or
website is called a hyperlink.
Hyperlinks help visitors find their way
around the website.
