If you don't follow the tag sequence, the paragraph will still look the same, but improper placement of closing tags may affect the rest of your document in a big way, and the official validator will tell you that your document sucks :).

The most known attribute for the A tag is HREF - this is what tells the browser to go somewhere. To create a link, you simply type:this takes your visitor to one of your other pages on the same server [you also have to type a directory name if you have that file in a different subdirectory]this takes your visitor to a different website and the URL should always be in the [http://www.domainname.domaintype] form.this takes your visitor to a picture or a larger version of a thumbnailthis lets your visitors drop you a line straight from your page using their POP3 client

The HREF attribute isn't the only one, however. You can use the TARGET attribute to specify where a link will open. If you want a link to open in a new window, type The default target [if one isn't specified] is "_top" - that means the same browser window.
If you want all your links to open in new windows, include the following code in the HEAD section of your HTML document:
<BASE TARGET="_blank">

That's not all, however. You can specify the language and the character encoding of the link [this is very useful for people with disabilities] by typing: For language codes and character sets, refer to the Links section from the main screen.

The NAME attribute is a useful one if your layout consists of a table of contents [linked to the content] at the top and the content below it. Basically, what you do is give a section [specified in the table of contents] a name like in this example: That's basically all you need to know about the inline element Anchor. Let's go on to the next part of text organization - font manipulation and SPAN [No, not SPAM, SPAN! :)]
