The Better HTML Link

 It was such a help to learn the little bit of HTML language necessary to create the basic link.  Although Blogger has a link tool built in, I have had many opportunities to create links elsewhere.
This is the basic link that has served me so well.  It opens foxnews.com in the current window.

Fox News

The following graphic shows the code for each case.
